Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) waves to supporters as she walks down the Boulevard of the Allies during the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Pittsburgh

Joke:
A woman goes to the post office to stock up on stamps. She says to the clerk, "May I have 50 stamps please? The clerk says, "What denomination?" The woman says, "God bless us, has it come to that? I'll have 18 Protestants, and 32 Catholics."

Trivia:
Blue is Ireland's official color.

One of the great gaffes in social history took place at Stormont in the 1920s. During an important function, Northern Ireland minister Dawson Bates - who was in attendance with his wife and son - entered the main hall. As the party made their way towards the gathered dignitaries, they were grandly announced "the honourable Dawson Bates, his wife, Lady Bates, and their son, Master Bates."
(We're not kidding - this really happened!)

I love you in Irish is Tá cion agam ort? Pronunciation: thaw kiuhn ag-gum urth

At 198 calories a pint, Guinness has fewer calories than a pint of skimmed milk or orange juice?
