Tomorrow everyone is Irish. We joke, party, and parade in celebration of the Irish (born in England, by the way) St. Patrick. We turn waterways green and drink green beer. We wear green and cook special meals. Did you know that 650,000 American babies have been named Patrick in the last century? Or that 40 pounds of green dye go into the Chicago River on this day (even more this year)?
Discover more bits of St. Pat trivia at St. Patrick’s Day by the Numbers.
Top o’ the day, to ye. Have a grand time tomorrow.
