If you don’t have a designated driver, ask a sober friend for a ride home; call a cab, friend, or family member to come and get you; or just stay where you are and sleep it off until you are sober. Never let a friend leave your sight if you think they are about to drive while impaired. Always buckle up – it’s still your best protection against other impaired drivers.

... good patch!”. She said the oddest time she ever found one was once when she took her niece to Houston and they visited a botanical garden with family. “My niece and I were waiting while everyone was taking a restroom break. She was looking rather bored by it all. So, I asked why she was so bored. I said something to the effect of, ‘You could be spending this time doing something fun — like looking for four-leaf clovers,'” May said. And she looked down. “Like this one!” she said and she picked a four-leaf clover from the ground. “I think my niece was in awe of me for a split second.”. When she and her husband drove up Highway 1 from Los Angeles to Seattle, she found clovers at every stop along the way. “I still have some of those, along with wildflowers that I had picked,” she said.

By March, she had found 52 of them and opted to forego her lottery-ticket decision moving forward — in light of fiscal responsibility. Even still, she kept finding four-leaf ...

Jack Santino, an academic folklorist, explained: “The shamrock, whatever its history as a folk symbol, today has its meaning in a Christian context. “Pictures of Saint Patrick depict him driving the snakes out of Ireland with a cross in one hand and a sprig of shamrocks in the other.".

And that's the source of one of the odder stories I've heard about government involvement with beer. When Flying Dog decided to brew an Irish Red Ale for St. Patrick's Day in 2012, the brewers decided to add four-leaf clovers as a novelty (and a bit of clever marketing). So staff went out to the large field beside the Frederick brewery, where the clovers are regularly found among the three-lobed shamrocks. They don't need to find many, according to Flying Dog communications director Erin Weston, who says "four or five" clovers go into each 50-barrel batch of beer. But when Flying Dog submitted the new beer to the FDA, the brewery was told that four-leaf clovers aren't "generally accepted ...

A St. Paddy's Day Beer Made With Four-leaf Clovers

... pubgoers will indulge in a few pints of Guinness or a glass of some anonymous light beer tinted a lurid shade of green. The contrarian in me just wants a glass of malty Irish red ale — no faffing about with "perfect pours." Smithwick's is the most common example, and there are some great examples brewed in the Midwest, most notably Conway's Irish Ale, from Great Lakes in Cleveland, and Boulevard's Irish Ale, from Kansas City. Of the brews fit for the day, I'm inclined to order Flying Dog's Lucky SOB, a copper-colored ale that smells of caramel and brown bread. The body is on the sweet side, as is typical of the style, with earthy malts, a bit of sour cherry and spicy hops right at the end. Strangely, though, I don't pick up any notes of Lucky SOB's promised special ingredient: four-leaf clover. Yes, Lucky SOB is made with real four-leaf clovers. And that's the source of one of the odder stories I've heard about government involvement with beer.

Medieval Mathematics Explains Why You Won't Find A 4-leaf Clover Today

... mutation that overrides the three-leaf gene. In 1994, a Swarthmore College mathematician answered a query about the rarity of four-leaf clovers by stating simply, “Four is not a Fibonacci number.” It’s true — the sequence begins 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and continues indefinitely. The idea behind this statement is that nature seems to favor growth that follows the Fibonacci sequence, and so when a clover sprouts an extra leaf, it does so in defiance of this natural, mathematical law. The world’s wealth of three-leaved clovers tells us that most shamrocks are conformists while the four-leaved ones are renegades. Of course, nature doesn’t always follow Fibonacci’s sequence. Four-leaved plants like the fuschia exist, as do four-chambered bell peppers; relatedly, five is a Fibonacci number, but we certainly don’t see five-leaved clovers all that often. It’s not entirely clear why it occurs so often in nature, but the most likely explanation is that growth that follows ...
