Beware the Ides of March

No, I don't feel particularly gloomy, I just wanted to write Beware the Ides of March. Here's the quick explanation of what it's about from About:
If you've heard the warning, "Beware the Ides of March," then it's probably due to the works of William Shakespeare. The Roman ruler, Julius Caesar, was assassinated on the Ides of March - March 15, 44 B.C.E. In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, a soothsayer tells Caesar who is already on his way to the Senate (and his death), "Beware the ides of March." Caesar replies, "He is a dreamer; let us leave him. Pass."
Hey, yesterday was Pi Day (3.14) and I forgot to mention that - so here's a link for you math geeks out there.
