You act like the people that said man will never fly. Just because your to dumb to grasp that concept and use of modern navigiation devices, is no reason why your should attack coconuts because they out preform you. And BTW some coconuts do 25kts in the fog. Joe Regards Donal -- |

"Joe" wrote in message om... And BTW some coconuts do 25kts in the fog. Tell us about them! Pleeeassse! When they fall from a tall tree on a fog laiden isle. When they are in the pantry of a crewboat in the fog on the Mississippi. When they are rushing down the front of a big wave as they are being washed ashore on a foggy beach. Your Welcome Joe Regards Donal -- |

He is celebrated for CONVERTING the Irish from their Druidic ways....all
Ireland thanks him for that (even though they secretly harbor inklings of paganism deep within...) "Horvath" wrote in message ... It's that time of year again, where I like to remind everybody that St. Patrick was NOT Irish. His parents were Roman, he wasn't born in Ireland, and he didn't grow up in Ireland. PATRICK (5th century). The enduring legends of St. Patrick are that he used a shamrock to explain the Trinity and that he banished all snakes from Ireland. The true story of Patrick, however, survives not in his myths but in his work. Patrick was responsible for converting the people of Ireland to Christianity. Patrick was born to a Romanized family in Britain probably in the first half of the 5th century. At the age of 16 he was taken to Ireland by pirates and sold into slavery. The young boy was sustained by his faith during his six years working as a herdsman. When Patrick escaped and returned to Britain, he had a vision of the Irish beseeching him to return to Ireland to spread his faith. Patrick recorded this call to his vocation in the 'Confessio', his spiritual autobiography and one of his two short writings that have survived. After studying in continental monasteries, Patrick returned to Ireland as a missionary. Despite a constant threat to his life, Patrick traveled widely, baptizing, confirming, and preaching and building churches, schools, and monasteries. Patrick succeeded in converting almost the entire population of the island. His 'Epistola' pleads the case of the Christian Irish at the hands of their British conquerors. Patrick's writings have come to be appreciated for their simplicity and humility. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. His feast day is celebrated on March 17. Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now! |
His boyfriend reminds him...

Horass,
St Pat was Irish; Arnold is governor of Calif and an American. The places of birth they had nothing to do with how they use their lifes. Their choice is, and St Pat choose to be Irish. Ole Thom |
