I finished a book today, called 'The Savior'. And I gotta say, it was odd. The book takes place in WWII in Germany. A German man is a violinist who is ordered to play at a concentration camp... Yeah, it is just weird. But I kept thinking, 'ok, any second now, there is going to be a turning point. Or some humanity will be shown. Something.' Nope, nothing. The book ends with the Jews he played for being shot, and then he goes home.

Ok, there is more to it. But sadly, not that much more. Like I said - Odd.

And for your Irish lesson!

Erin's flag is a tricolor; green, white and orange (In that order from the flagpole out)
The meanings of the colors is believed to be:

[The green represents the older Gaelic and Anglo-Norman element in the population, while the orange represents the Protestant planter stock, supporters of William of Orange. The meaning of the white was well expressed by Meagher when he introduced the flag. "The white in the centre", he said, "signifies a lasting truce between the ‘Orange’ and the ‘Green’ and I trust that beneath its folds the hands of the Irish Protestant and the Irish Catholic may be clasped in heroic brotherhood." ]

[It was not until the Rising of 1916, when it was raised above the General Post Office in Dublin, that the tricolour came to be regarded as the national flag. It rapidly gained precedence over any flag which had existed before, and its use as a national flag is enshrined in the Constitution.]

Yeah, I copied that from another website, http://www.ireland-information.com/reference/names.html, but I promise I did know it already! And now you can say you know it as well!
