Saint Patrick made a name for himself by running the snakes out of Ireland, leaving the place vulnerable to rodent infestation.

  • It was one of those hot, silent nights, when people sit at windows listening for the thunder which they know will shortly break; when they recall dismal tales of hurricanes and earthquakes; and of lonely travellers on open plains, and lonely ships at sea, struck by lightning.
