> Today, January 14th is the feast day of St. Mungo who is the patron 
of Glasgow.  The Scottish monk came to the aid of his queen who had 
lost the ring of the king.  One of Mungo's monks went fishing and 
immediately caught a salmon with the ring in its mouth.  Mungo was 
less popular, however, with his flock, and it has been suggested that 
his name Mungo meaning "darling" was bestowed in irony.  He died 
while taking a bath. (Taken from the St. a day calendar)
