No leaf clover!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, my Irish fellows!

Just remember, if you want to swim today in a river... You can find it's totally green! Take care!


That's just what they do in Chicago, since 1961: dying the Hudson river of this Irish green colour. And the thing is, they found out how to do that by chance! Some plumbers discovered that the dye they used to detect leaks into the river turned green, not just any color green, but the perfect color green! And so, they decided to use that to surprise the public in St.Patrick's Day!

Slán leat!

Yes Sir, Worth the post!
What about going to Chicago instead of London. It'd be more fun!

I just hope the substance is not a danger for the citizens of Chicago.

Really curious... here it would be inconceivable: the environmentalists would make a great fuss about it.

Chicago might be more fun but... also more expensive...

UAU!
