Luck of the Irish ...

Could St. Patrick's Day turn into a global holiday? Of course not...but why not? For the Non-Irish (disclaimer I am Irish but lost my red hair and freckles as a kid, though I still burn like a SOB on the first sunny Spring day) it is a day to feel good, happy and "full of cheer." Given our US economy presently - and as a consolation to Bear Stearns shareholders - I couldn't help looking for a light-hearted break in the action. Enjoy.



1. Guiness' take on evolution



2. Irish bank robbers



3. Just a lil' Irish humor





PS: little known fact - Ireland is home to hundreds of leading biomedical and hi-tech companies. We live in an era of true globalization where regions (cities, states, countries) can control their economic FUTURE ... maybe pubs, pharma and pentiums aren't a bad economic combination.
