POST #2: All Things Irish

Want to know the A-Zs of all things Irish? John Scalzi has an interesting and funny post that will definitely make you a green genius.

My favorite nugget:

K is for Kells, the Book of — Gorgeous book of illuminated script, created by Irish monks in the 8th century AD and now residing at Trinity College in Dublin. It’s the sort of book they don’t make any more, mostly because it’s difficult these days to find a group of monks willing to spend years painstakingly etching and painting Latin onto handcrafted vellum. They’re all off making CDs of Gregorian chants or something. Slackers.

Hee.

This reminds me of how ingenuous monks are these days about raising money (and higher consciousness). It still boggles to see the traveling Shao-Lin monks using their Chi to perform circus acts all around the US. I mean, at one time, these public shows of power would be sacrilegious outside the sacred Shao-Lin doors.

But I digress. Where were we, oh yeah, higher consciousness. Green beer, anyone? It's the only green thing that's worth anything today.

Bear with me while I learn. The first button likes the POST. The second button likes the BLOG site. Please help me by "liking" me. Thanks!
