I am not exactly sure what a patron saint is but St Andrew is one for a whole bunch of places. The main church in the Church of Hawai’i was called St Amdrew’s but I am not sure he was the patron saint of Hawai’i
-
@whistlewright I wonder if there is a patron saint of saints or for that matter a patron saint of recursion.
-
This list of patron saints is huge. There very well could be a St of Recursion ;)
-
@whistlewright Saint Federation that would be.
-
I always assumed the Gnu is the saint of recursion.

@johnnynull let’s canonize @rms – but which miracle to choose?
-
@Mcnalu. That made me chuckle.
-
@satipera always happy to induce mirth… of which there must be a patron saint
-
@mcnalu I’d sooner canonize binary. But I think the Chinese have me beat by a year or two.
-
I’ve always understood a patron saint to be a representative character sorta like @jpope
-
(he’s the patron saint of #statusnet)
-
@ryanweal I’m the #identicursarianpope to be exact. ;)

@ryanweal @whistlewright I think St Andrew’s cross is part of UK flag. Not sure which group he represents.

@whistlewright aye

@mcnalu is it true that tennis is what happens when Englanders try to play golf?
-
@whistlewright yes, but in the some counties a time dilation effect produces cricket instead
-
great… you just had to bring in that Hobo Boatswain thing didn’t you?
-
@whistlewright “hobo boatswain”? web search leaves me none-the-wiser
-
@mcnalu what is that thing everyone is talking about? something like Hobs Boson or Hobson Boson? I think it has something to do with dark matter or some other nerdspeak
-
@whistlewright oh I was close, I got as far as the boson pronunciation but then my wits escaped me.
