A woman is like beer. They look good, they smell good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one!

Smile Weird St Patrick's Day Factoids from SpookyCash (NAKED TATTOO GOTH BABE PICS)

SpookyCash affiliates have just been sent our new Saint Patty's promo content and a reminder of our last shamrock-themed gallery. I also thought I would re-share some fun facts about the holiday again.



Much as I am entertained by green beer and getting tipsy in the street, I thought I would pass along these fun factoids to know and share:

(1) The holiday as really celebrated today started in the Americas.

(2) Use of the shamrock was added nearly a thousand years after the death of the saint, as a co-option of Pagan ritual.

(3) Leprechauns became associated with the holiday largely due to the release of a 1950's Disney movie about them.

(4) Pubs in Ireland were required to be closed on the religious holiday until the 1970's.

(5) The original color associated with the holiday was blue.
