Happy St. Patrick's Day

Today, my name is Christopher McClanahan instead of Chris Rice.

Since I have Irish blood (from the McClanahan clan), here's some somewhat Irish music to listen to: I'M AT LEAST A QUARTER IRISH (ISN'T EVERYONE?) AND HERE'S MY MUSIC

Here's a nice little St. Patrick's Day SCIENCE lesson. There are no snakes in Ireland. There is a legend that St. Patrick drove them all off the island and into the sea. But the truth is there never were any snakes in Ireland. Pretty interesting fact to toss around the table as you raise your Guinness or toast with green KoolAid in celebration of St. Patty's.

Oh yeah, one more thing. New Zealand is also a snakeless island.

May shamrocks abound around your doorstep, and may you not get pinched too hard by leprechauns.
