    A couple of years ago I listened to the audio book, abridged version, How The Irish Saved Civilization. Awesome.

    Today I went to the book store and picked up Malachy McCourt's History of Ireland which looks to be a promising read. Then today Padraig Harrington won the Honda Classic.

    Aye, Irish eyes are gleaming!

    Sounds like a good read Cygnus. I love history and can spend hours reading about it. My knowledge of Irish history is a bit lacking but always find it facinating. Ive got a book that spans some English history from AD 70 to 1589, deals with the early begginings of England and how they became a dynasty. Let me know how the book goes when you finish reading it.

    Most of the great medeavel universities of Europe were started by Irish monks.

    How many people know that St. Brendan discovered America in the 6th or 7th Century?

    Whisky was invented so the Irish would not rule the world.

    Hey Cyg, if you like Irish history, check out the book "Trinity" by Leon Uris. It's historical fiction but still a great read.

    Happy St Patrick's day yall.

    Hey, if we kiss people that are Irish, should we eat people that are Danish?
