Ides of March 2007

I always wanted to write things on the Ides of March.

Julius Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March on 44 BC. But accoring to Wikipedia:

In 2007, the 2051st anniversary of Caesar's assassination falls on March 28 due to the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars
and
Because of William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar and its line "Beware the Ides of March", the term "Ides of March" has come to mean a foreboding of doom
So there.
