Who would be the patron saint of some of our commonplace items, activites, etc?
For example, the patron saint of dildos (the topic of the thread referenced above) might be…St. Peter.
Who would be the patron saint of waiting for the bus? Traffic jams? Tennis shoes? Pull tabs?
Real saints or made-up ones, it’s all fair game.
Heh. I’ve made up such things on occasion. For instance, Steve, the patron saint of writing utensils - when you find a #2 pencil right when you need to take a scan-tron test, you thank Steve; if your pen runs out of ink, you pray to Steve… The patron saint of jammed staplers, Bob… the patron saint of beer runs, Bruce…
St. Lipton, Patron saint of iced tea.

Is there a patron saint of the internet? I heard they wanted to make this monk who started one of the world’s first libraries (well, the AD, European world) the patron saint of the internet since he was involved with comiling knowledge.
