    The reporter for the local news was interviewing a local pub owner about plans for St. Patrick’s Day. The voice recognition closed caption translated it as St. Pet Rocks Day.

    That Shame Rock isn’t real. It’s a sham.

    Chocolate is kind of like gold. It can be considered to be very precious.

    Consumption-wise it’s much better than gold.

    Bring up google to se the St Patty’s GOOGLE sign and tap on it.

    See the green confetti come down and down further lots of St Patty Day questions answered, like:

    Why do we wear green on Saint Patrick’s Day?

    Leprechauns are actually one reason you’re supposed to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day—or risk getting pinched! The tradition is tied to folklore that says wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, which like to pinch anyone they can see.

    Why is blue associated with St. Patrick?

    The colour blue’s association with Saint Patrick dates from the 1780s, when it was adopted as the colour of the Anglo-Irish Order of St Patrick. The term refers to a sky blue used by the Order of St Patrick, often confused in Ireland with a darker, rich blue.

    What does wearing orange on St Patrick day mean?

    Traditionally, the green represents the Catholics of Ireland, the orange represents the Protestant population and the white in the middle symbolizes the peace between the two religions. The religious symbolism doesn’t stop there.

    My favorite St. Patrick joke: What did St. Patrick say as he was driving the snakes out of Ireland?

    (Looking back over left shoulder UK driving style) Is everybody OK in the back there
