Well, since this admin is a 6'2" bald red head, with a big red goatee, it seemed only fitting to wish everyone here a Happy and safe St. Patrick's Day.
To all those out having fun on this Alcoholiday be careful.
I'll get a video hector doing a shot (or water) in honor of the holiday!

The only green I'm wearing is a grass stain on my pants. Does that count?

Because I am a consummate pedant: green is actually the color of the Catholics in Ireland. Orange is the color of the Protestants. Hence the orange and green bars on the Irish flag. Thus, by wearing green, you choose to identify yourself as a Catholic. Orange would also be an appropriate color to wear.

But St. Patrick's Day is a catholic holiday, no? That's why the pope can apparently change it
at the drop of a hat.

Because I feel the need to one-up both Darwinian and MagnusApollo at the same time: St. Patrick's Day 2008 was last Saturday, March 15th. In most years it is the 17th, and the last time it wasn't was 1940. The next scheduled time it won't be will be 2160.
