Its a shamrock 3 leaved not four leaved clover
Denis remarked: "Its a shamrock 3 leaved not four leaved clover" Indeed so Denis. I was just about to either question whether I was going mad or whether a special 4-leafed variety had been developed for the occasion (!!)

Not surprising at all ! Russia (Russians) will celebrate any and every drinking holiday ! I think the government needs to open it's eyes and start controlling alcohol drinking in Russia. My wife is studing Psychology (which is not really needed in USA), BUT Russia still has that chapter ahead of them. If I am not mistaken; Russia is also by far #1 in smokers. Do you how many people died from smoking in USA in 2009 ? Over 443,000 Americans die from smoking. And in 2015, smoking is predicted to kill 6.5 million people. How many died from alcohol ? About the same number as smokers. Do you know how many died from marijuana ? "0" ! How many marijuana curred ? MILLIONS !!! So, conclusion; don't drink, smoke bud.
