Actually, correct me if I'm wrong (I know it's the Guiness thing is a joke) but isn't a legend that St. Patrick destroyed/chased away every snake in Ireland?

The way I've heard it is St. Patrick gathered all the snakes and said "Those of you who would like to remain in Ireland please raise your hand."

If you believe that, maybe you'll believe that Napoleon smacked a skunk with a walking stick twice, and that's why skunks have two white lines on their backs.
