I don't know if I wasn't paying attention in school or if my memory's going or both! [I'm betting on the latter]
Have you ever wondered from where some sayings come?
I was surfing the net [which, I haven't done in a while] and saw the saying "Beware the Ides of March" I remember hearing or reading the saying over years [oops, I'm telling my age] and wondered from where it came. Now I remember [after I went and looked it up]!
Beware the Ides of March is the name of the date March 15th in the Roman calendar. The what else I didn't know: the Ides is also the name of the 15th day of May, July, and October and the name of the 13th day of the other eight months.
In modern times [ I guess 44 BC is considered modern] Ides of March is best known as the date Julius Caesar was assassinated and is now used as a metaphor for impending doom.
Okay, so this is boring...whatever! It got me titillated! Yo! Caesar you died in my birthday month!
Beware The Ides of March...now that March is leaving like a lamb!

You were really curious that you even dug out historical facts about it. ^^ An antithesis of the intellectually lethargic person.
