The Weirdest St. Paddy's Customs

St. Patrick’s Day isn’t just about beer drinking and snake exterminating: there are a wealth of other odd traditions surrounding the holiday. AOL News reports on a few:

• For 35 years now, a Toronto man has walked to a town 32 miles away for a drink, honoring a tradition that dates back to Prohibition. Back then, it was the only place around that served beer.

• On the opposite end of the spectrum, Maryville, Mo., boasts the world’s shortest parade: It covers just 99.9 feet.
• A Las Vegas seafood restaurant celebrates “St Cabby’s Day,” at which cab drivers get a breakfast of green eggs and ham and Lucky Charms. Some 500 drivers were expected.
• In Massachusetts, a hospital hosts an annual celebration of “Paddy O’Carousel”—its high-tech pill dispenser. The gadget gives patients their meds at appointed times, freeing up the staff to do other jobs.
