An English man and an Irish man are driving head on, at night, on a twisty, dark road. Both are driving to fast for the conditions and collide on a sharp bend in the road. To the amazement of both, they are unscathed, though their cars are both destroyed.

In celebration of their luck, both agree to put aside their dislike for the other from that moment on. At this point, the Irish man goes to the boot and fetches a 12 year old bottle of Jameson whiskey. He hands the bottle to the English man, whom exclaims,\’\’ may the English and the Irish live together forever, in peace, and harmony.\’\’ The English man then tips the bottle and lashes half of it down.

Still flabbergasted over the whole thing, he goes to hand the bottle to the Irish man, whom replies: \’\’ no thanks, I\’ll just wait till the Garda (police) get here!\’\’

We all know that when three-leaf clovers come out, it\’s St. Patrick\’s Day. This Irish holiday is always celebrated on March 17th, which is the day that Saint Patrick died. He was a missionary way back in the 4th century who converted the Irish to Christianity.

Saint Patrick was born around 385 AD in the United Kingdom. His real name is believed to be Maewyn Succat (he took on Patrick, or Patricus, after he became a priest). When he was 16, he was kidnapped by a group of Irish raiders and sold into slavery in Ireland. During his six-year captivity as a shepherd, he began to have religious visions and found strength in his faith. He finally escaped to France and became a priest – and later a bishop. When he was about 60 years old, Saint Patrick returned to Ireland to spread the Christian word. He used the shamrock, which resembles a three-leafed clover, as a metaphor to explain the Christian concept of God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).

The first St. Patrick\’s Day parade didn\’t take place in Ireland, but actually in New York City on March 17, 1762. Now, over 100 US cities have St. Patrick\’s Day parades. New York should be called the Big Shamrock instead of the Big Apple because their parade usually puts the rest of them to shame.

 Green is associated with St. Patrick\’s Day because it is the color of spring, Ireland and the shamrock.

 Leprechauns are also associated with St. Patrick\’s Day, although the only reason they are is because they\’re Irish. Leprechauns are usually mean little creatures – with the exception of the Lucky Charms guy.

 People give Saint Patrick credit for chasing all the snakes out of Ireland. The truth is that snakes are not indigenous to Ireland.

EWG is about to embark on a new study about bottled water–where it comes from, how it\’s \”purified,\” and if it\’s even worth the expense. A big part of this project is just compiling the data, so we need your help to gather information from the labels of whatever bottled water you have at hand.
