At least back in Alexander the Great's timeMaybe the reason Alexander is known as one of the world's greatest leaders and conquerors is because he had the luck of the Irish on his side.
For all we know, his Macedonian army was actually an army of Leprechauns! Like, what if he called them to his service when his need was most dire? Maybe, the truth behind leprechauns is that they were originally a cursed group people punished by some old King...let's call him Isildur...and that when Alexander was on his way to battle the Persian or Mordor army he decided to walk the Paths of the Dead and release them, so long as they help him out. And then because the leprechauns were really helpful in battle the saying "the Luck of the Irish" came into existence.
Where are the leprechauns now anyway? Gone, released from the curse that had been holding them to this world for so long.....free to appear every once in a while on cereal boxes or stories about chasing rainbows and finding pots of gold.
I just redefined everything you've ever believed in, didn't I?
Err more like reaafirmed my belief that you are insane. However, you are quite entertaining.
