  • Beware The Ides of March

    A young friend of decidedly literary bent posted this to me earlier this morning as today is March 15th.

    It's a little known fact that Julius Caesar did not die
    from stab wounds by Brutus, but, rather, was poisoned.
    During a sumptuous banquet which they both attended on
    that fateful Ides of March, Brutus slipped some poisonous
    hemlock leaves onto Julius' salad. (Thus making the world's
    first Caesar's salad - no, that's not the joke, wait for it.)

    When Julius slumped over into his salad, Brutus feigned
    concern and asked, "My dear friend Julius, how many hemlock
    leaves have you eaten?" To which Julius gasped in reply:

    "Ate two, Brute."
