Curiosities of Dublin
The name of the Guinness Book of Records derives from the beer of the same name. Its creator Sir Hugh Beaver was in fact, the delegated administrator of the renowned Guinness factory.
Sir Arthur Guinness hired the site of his beer factory in St. James's Gate for 45 sterling, to be paid annually. The price is today unchanged and will remain so for a long time, since the contract, stipulated on the 31st of December 1759 has validity for 9000 years.
Within Trinity College library is conserved the most ancient harp of Ireland. This instrument can be seen on Irish money (including euros) and it's also the Guinness logo.
When you are invited to a table to drink, you shouldn't offer the first round, but wait your turn.
The statue of Molly Malone isn't exactly revered by Dubliners who have nicknamed her "the tart with the cart."
Furthermore, the statue representing the river Shannon is called "the floozy in the Jacuzzi." (source: wikipedia.it)
