The Euro fell to its lowest levels on Tuesday on fears Ireland may require a financial bailout from the European Union. The Euro slid to $1.35 - its lowest point since September.
Here's a look at some of the problems facing Ireland:
- It's filled with gingers.
- In 2004, Ireland converted to potato-based economy.
- After repeated attempts and heightened security, Ireland's stash of Lucky Charms was stolen.
- Legislative debates within the Irish government always - always - end with someone going to the hospital for stitches.
- In 2007, Scientists concluded Lucky Charms possess no magical abilities and are actually flavored by high fructose corn syrup.
- Notre Dame hasn't had a winning season since 2008.
- The Irish government owes an estimated $8 trillion - roughly 30-times its gross domestic product - to Callaghan's Pub in Dublin.
- The country invested heavily in college classes to better understand "Finnegans Wake."
- Many of Ireland's sparse, bleak and frankly confusing monetary policies were written by Samuel Beckett.
- U2 hasn't had a good album in 10 years.

... And I can't be the only person who thinks Irish Spring soap smells like Dial.
Actually Senor Miller, Ireland is filled with brunettes, there's only a small percentage of gingers. SCOTLAND however has 13% ginger infiltration of which I'm a lethal strawberry blonde myself. I'm also feisty so watch your dirty mouth boy.
I concur with the U2 thing though. :)
Well this seems like the perfect opportunity to get American musicians together for a benefit concert series. We could have Linkin Park performing Enya covers, Rascal Flatts will do a few Drop Kick Murphy tunes, and Kanye will cover U2.
Things have certainly gone downhill since Notre Dame stopped Fighting Irish.
Wow. Those are a lot of things stacked against those folks. I'd go closer to 20 years on the U2 issue.
