They never taught you in school…
…that Ireland has been plagued with boa constrictors since 1974? As previously reported St. Patrick did not rid Ireland of snakes but of the 80’s metal band, Whitesnake. The Boa Constrictors were introduced as a prank by the Scottish, who thought it would be funny after an all night bender in Dublin. It is started of harmlessly enough, but after a rash of missing cats and the distinct lack of snake banishing Catholic saints the Irish Parliament unanimously voted to brainstorm over pints down at the pub around the corner. They have not emerged to this day. Dear god, all the snakes!
Post-Script: Sorry for the Irish stereotype of heavy drinkers, but as you know, stereotypes are a real timesaver!
