The word Ides comes from the Latin word "Idus" and means "half division" especially in relation to a month. It is a word that was used widely in the Roman calendar indicating the approximate day that was the middle of the month. 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.

Not really just wanted to point out today is the Ides of March. It's also the day I was born most of us know the term Beware the Ides of March because of Shakespeare. It says Caesar is warned by the soothsayer Beware the Ides of March. Caesar joked the Ides of March have come. Caesar was stabbed 33 times.

Yep.

2,056 years ago today, Julius Caesar was murdered by his own Senate (60 men were involved in the assassination plans) because they feared he wanted to overthrow the Senate in favor of tyranny.

More importantly, Happy Birthday FrogBoy!
