Happy "ides of March" eve

Remember that tomorrow is the "ides of March," and that we're supposed to "beware."

I'm serious - don't forget.

I don't know what it is, but I think it's kind of like daylight savings time or something, except more dangerous.

<shrug>

I'm just trying to keep my head above the water in this mad, mad, mad world.

Should a prophet warn you to watch out on the Ides of March, I'd recommend investing in some Kevlar. Be careful if Carl and Karen are hanging around you with sharp objects. Come to think of it, I'd be careful of that even if it wasn't for the Ides or March :))

It's the Vernal Equinox, half way between the Winter Solstice and the Summer Solstice. This is the day you can make an egg stand on it's own! But having said that, it's not until March 20th this year at 1:49 AM EST.

Actually, the Ides of March is what the Romans called March 15th. Every month had an "Ides" and it was either the 13th or the 15th. So the Ides of March is the same day every year. That way, it's easy to remember when to beware.

First read "Beware the ides of March" in Julius Ceaser in high school. Some old hag told Julius to beware, I believe. So, really the "beware" part was just a warning to Ceaser, and in a play at that.
