Beware

Who knew March was such a momentous month? There's Pi Day and there's St. Patrick's Day, and between the two, on March 15, there's the Ides of March. Really, it was just like any other day, except that it fell on a full moon, until Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BCE. Even then, it took William Shakespeare to made the date truly memorable (as in, "Beware the Ides of March"). Here, to "celebrate" the day, a list of political and consequential assassinations (slideshow): http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/03/15/beware-the-ides-of-march-assassinations-that-shook-the-world/
