    2. Although he wasn’t even Irish, St. Patrick wore a large button that read “Kiss Me I’m Irish”
    3. St. Patrick wrote two hit songs, “’Tis 99 Bottles o’ Beer on The Wall” and “In Heaven There ‘tis No Beer, Ergo We Drink It Here”
    4. On the first St. Patrick’s Day celebrated in Ireland, St. Patrick had the Irish Sea dyed vivid green then invented the game of beer pong

    6. Contrary to popular belief, St. Patrick never danced in a production of “Riverdance”
