Re: Some Quiz Show Howlers !....
In the medieval romances, the lance with which Saint George slew the dragon that was called Ascalon after the Levantine city of Ashkelon, today in Israel.
Some evidence links the legend back to very old Egyptian and Phoenician sources in a late antique statue of Horus fighting a "dragon". This ties the legendary George, though not necessarily the historical George, to various ancient sources using mythological and linguistic arguments. In Egyptian mythology, the god Setekh murdered his brother Osiris. Horus, the son of Osiris, avenged his father's death by killing Setekh. This iconography of the horseman with spear overcoming evil was widespread throughout the Christian period.
Home in the Holy land (1866):
St George killed the dragon in this country; and the place is shown close to Beyroot. Many churches and convents are named after him. The church at Lydda is dedicated to St George; so is a convent near Bethlehem, and another small one just opposite the Jaffa gate, and others beside. The Arabs believe that St. George can restore mad people to their senses, and to say a person has been sent to St. George's is equivalent to saying he has been sent to a madhouse. It is singular that the Moslem Arabs adopted this veneration for St George, and send their mad people to be cured by him, as well as the Christians, but they commonly call him El Khudder—The Green—according to their favourite manner of using epithets instead of names. Why he should be called green, however, I cannot tell—unless it is from the colour of his horse. Gray horses are called green in Arabic.
PS. Backing a draw, hard not to. Given the edge Ireland will win, would make St. Patricks day even better.

Hi Cappy.
I will find out about the game in about two months, which gives the heart some time to accommodate the loss.

Well they sort of have St George, but why are they not allowed to fly the flag or sing? Do they sing that bad?
