You mean it's not that little cupid bloke?
That's something new. I always thought he was St. Valentine. Reckon I should ask an RC mate if they know anything.

But what's with the fainting, bees, and plague. Tell someone you love them by giving them the plague? That's going to bung the holiday works up. Might bring the divorce rate down though.
