    Why does Catholicism even need a patron saint for THAT?! As for the bed, I would call it “la cama del perezoso” (the lazy man’s bed).

    He’s also the patron saint of entertainers and epileptics.

    I think that puts the song “Drops of Jupiter” in a whole new light.

    But if the bed is really twisted, like mine, the rod will not pick up rhe covers. And, what about the top sheet?

    There’s a neurological disorder nicknamed St Vitus’ Dance.

    So, under the pillows, or within them, there’s a metal shelf? With an arm connecting it through the headboard? How comfortable.

    Pray to St. Vitus that your bed doesn’t make itself before you get up.

    You’re confusing St. Vitus’ Dance (Sydenham’s chorea) with The Dancing Plague. No one knows for sure what caused The Dancing Plague, but it wasn’t St. Vitus’ Dance, which doesn’t in fact resemble a dance.

    What is the difference between the Gods of Roman Mythology and Patron Saints of Catholics? The main one is that those Catholics have been documented as having been on the Earth. Pagan religions are big on ‘patron gods’ and so is the Catholic religion. The New Testament teaches: ‘Pray to Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ’. The Old Testament teaches: ‘Have no other gods’.
