No Scotty a coconut can sail in the fog.

kts in fog!!!

Again you show your lack of knowledge. 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.

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

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...)

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.

So, you're willing to admit that he was not Irish?

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.
