if you said "yes, tomorrow is The Ides of March", then you would be correct!

tomorrow is generally accepted as the equivalent day on the Roman calendar known as The Ides of March. that's also the day in 44 B.C. when Julius Caesar was assassinated by many members of the Roman senate.

    We're having meat pie for supper (mine's veggie) and cherry pie for dessert, in appropriate portions of course. I may not commemorate the death of Caesar, however, with such enthusiasm. Perhaps skewered meat? Ewwwwww.

    The Ides of March is also my wife's birthday, so today is "Excuse to buy a cake from the really excellent French bakery down the street" day.

    It's Friday Pi Day! And yes, beware the Ides of March! Three years ago tomorrow is when my life changed forever, though I didn't know it at the time (my husband and I had our 1st date 3/15/11) :heart:

    And still the warnings of "Beware the Ides of March" go unheeded. They are getting a pie in the face :-D

    My 8th grader took a pie to school today. :sad: I wanted that pie.

    The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century though it is also sometimes spelled out as "pi" (/paɪ/).

    Yes, live in Rome and know the exact place where they did it. Last year there was an enactment in costume, of course. Saw an interesting show on TV with indepth investigation using today's methods. The result was
    Ceasar had epilepsy which was getting worse. He was warned by many that his life was in danger, but chose to go to the Forum anyway. Therefore the supposition is that it was a sort of suicide, going out with a bang--so to speak--and it worked, since we remember the episode today.

    You are all wrong.

    It's steak and a BJ day.

    I'll have a nice Ribeye, medium rare, with a Bartles & James (BJ) wine cooler. Mmmmm.....
