    Today is the Ides of March!

    Keep a close eye on your best friend.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    It's so much more than just the Ides today. This is the day that I annually call my mother and apologize.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martii) is the name of 15 March in the Roman calendar, probably referring to the day of the full moon. The term ides was used for the 15th day of the months of March, May, July, and October, and the 13th day of the other months.[1] The Ides of March was a festive day dedicated to the god Mars and a military parade was usually held. In modern times, the term Ides of March is best known as the date that Julius Caesar was killed in 44 B.C. Julius Caesar was stabbed (23 times) to death in the Roman Senate led by Marcus Junius Brutus, Gaius Cassius Longinus and 60 other co-conspirators.
    I didn't figure any explanation was necessary for the folks who frequent the Island. Please don't tell me I was wrong.
