March 16 - Crickets and the Irish Pandas don't get along

 I've been watching a lot of BBC lately and there's this comedienne that I really enjoy - Aisling Bea.


She turns 38 today.

Speaking of funny, the Finnish people also have a good sense of humour - and they've 'invented' their own Patron Saint of Finland, one St. Urho.  Who, like the famed St. Patrick, who drove the snakes out of Ireland, they say Urho drove the grasshoppers out of Finland.

They set up St. Urho's Day to be just before St. Patrick's Day - so today!




People will celebrate the hero by parading around a large grasshopper on a stick.  It's kinda funny.

Far from Ireland and Finland is the home of the panda.  And the US celebrates today as National Panda Day.
