Trust mental floss to come up with St. Patrick's Day facts that, for the most part, are not that well-known. The first one: "We Should Really Wear Blue. St. Patrick himself would have [had] to deal with pinching on his feast day. His color was 'St. Patrick's blue,' a light shade. The color green only became associated with the big day after it was linked to the Irish independence movement in the late 18th century." Memorize these and impress and astound your new friends at the local pub: http://mentalfloss.com/article/55599/15-delightful-facts-about-saint-patricks-day
