With St. Paddy celebrations coming up this weekend, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to celebrate the work of history’s two most legendary snake annihilators, St. Patrick and Samuel L. Jackson. In case you’ve already forgotten, Jackson kicked some serious snake butt in the 2006 Internet phenomenon/box office flop Snakes on a Plane. Your challenge in this mental_floss worksheet is to decide which statements apply to St. Patrick (circle the shamrock), which apply to Samuel L. Jackson (circle the Royale w/ Cheese) and which apply to both (circle both). It’s tougher than you think.Â
And feel free to share any St. Patrick and Samuel L. facts we may have forgotten.

Very witty.
I didn’t know Samuel was such a fighter for the freedom of Irish slaves in Briton in the 1800′s. Shows he is a well rounded character, not just a snake killin’ bad-ass.

XD That’s hilarious.
To quote the Savage Chickens cartoon:
479 A.D.: Snakes terrorize Ireland. Until one man takes a stand…SAINT PATRICK.
“Enough is enough! I want these mother—ing snakes off this mother—ing island!”
