  28. Patrick had an interesting early career. A Roman citizen (real name: Patricius) born in Britain, he was captured and enslaved by Irish raiders, worked as a herdsman, escaped back to Britain, and later returned to Ireland as a missionary. You can read about him on Wikipedia at http:// en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Saint_Patrick

  29. Alice says:

    Mother always frowned upon St. Patrick’s Day, so I was sort of raised believing that St. Patrick sent all the poor snakes away. I have a rather fuzzy image I constructed at a young age, of a giant man wearing green walking into the water, with a host of snakes swimming before him.

    Of course, he was a missionary, so I’m still sort of disapproving, but it’s nice to know that he didn’t cause the death of thousands of snakes.

  34. (31) No, Patricius wouldn’t even have seen any snakes in Ireland: glaciers had eradicated them tens of thousands of years before he arrived. As the glaciers melted, snakes recolonized Britain from mainland Europe, but rising seas kept them from reaching Ireland. And it wasn’t just snakes. In general, Ireland and other western islands have less biodiversity (fewer types of native plants and animals) than Europe does, and Britain is in between.

    :? – No, you’re not.

    :idea: – I’m not?

    :? – No. You’re not green, your Irish accent is the worst I’ve ever heard, Saint Patrick’s Day was yesterday, and you probably couldn’t play that fiddle to save your life. Fingering generally requires fingers.

    :idea: – Sure, and if you’re such an expert on fiddles, let’s hear what you can play. *thrusts fiddle in :? ‘s direction*

    Hey, thanks!
    So, what I did for St. Patrick’s day; we went to a concert of all glass instruments, and heard Danny Boy and Irish Washerwoman played on the Glass Armonica, then we got in the car and drove for several hours, to get home. During this time I slept and listened to the Bothy Band and Poisoned Dwarf.
    When we got home I perused the mail, cut off a weeks worth of fingernail growth and played fiddle tunes untill after 11 PM, then went to bed.

    All this was done, I might ad, with green hair. :mrgreen:
    No, don’t worry HAWK, I haven’t done anything rash, only four small streaks put in with a washable marker; they’re all gone now.

    37~ I didn’t read that before, I was on a race with the timed library computer sessions…. Heh, I like it. Si Bheag Si Mohr is one of the most beatiful tunes ever, in my not-very-humble-opinion. It’s the Irish tune that made me want to play Celtic music in the first place, actually.

    35~ Yes, Gaelic, or Irish, is spoken in Ireland. There are some towns that are only Irish speaking, to help preserve the language and keep it from totally dying out.

    No! I had gigantic post, and then the computer killed it. I’ll try to remmeber:
    I think people on the Aran Islands, especially, speak Gaelic, though I’m not sure. Also, was Si Bheag Si Mohr composed by the “last bard” Carolan? Because I think I may have heard it, if so.
    22-Tehehe. No, the people in my school are just annoying and stereotypical, and they make jokes about green beer and leprechauns and try to have funny accents. Meanwhile, I lived and went to school there for six months, and am almost totally Irish, and, well, yeah. It’s (obviously) not like that. And, I guess, deep down inside, that I think I shoudl get more attention about it, but nobody in school even remembered. So, I’m sut attention-seekin g, really.
    *analyzes self* *fails*

    lso, I was going to say that using the toolbar spellcheck makes the comment box temporarily un-shrink, but I think that was what may have caused my comment to die, before, si I’m not going to try it this time. lthough it may have bebeen a useful discovery. Therefore, pardon my spelling and grammar, and not-being-able-to see while I type./

    Right now, I am wearing all blue, but I did wear a green shirt on the 17th with a long, black skirt, because my mom was convinced that we had to dress up for the Navy Pier field trip never mind that everyone else wore jeans. Someone once said that I look Irish. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I’m 100% Jewish: 25% German and 75% assorted locations in Eastern Europe primarily present day Romania and Ukraine.
