I’ve been lookin’ all day, but I’m telling you up front, what with Greg posting 7 updates, and me contributing to his 3 News Briefs this week, there’s no news left – nothin’, nada, zip! In desperation, I’ve finally just made up a bunch of headlines, and inserted random links. So there’s no telling where you’ll end up, but I’m reasonably sure you’ll have a pleasant trip. And congrats to TDG reader, Xaltotun, for having the 2nd highest score in ThothWeb’s recent alternative quiz.

Quote of the Day:
O Paddy dear, an’ did ye hear the news that’s goin’ round?
The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground!
No more Saint Patrick’s Day we’ll keep, his colour can’t be seen,
For there’s a cruel law agin the wearin’ o’ the Green!
