Suits my timeline - I'm so far behind ;-)
But where's the fourth petal? (I couldn't find a single lucky shamrock in our local dollar store - no 4-leaf clover this year!)

Well, keep in mind that the shamrock is said to have been used by St Patrick to illustrate the Christian Holy Trinity. Bars in Ireland are never decorated for St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland with four-leaf instead of three-leaf clovers. The luck associated with four-leaf clovers is unrelated to the luck of the Irish.

Well done mindscrub, being Irish, I'm delighted to see a proper 3 leafed shamrock!! Nothing more annoying than the U.S. habit of using 4 leafed clover instead of our own national symbol. As you rightly pointed out - no connection with that at all. It's as bad as referring to St. Patrick's Day (or Paddy's Day) as St. Patty's Day - we've never heard of Patty!!
