History

Any day history link

(sorry , I took Latin in H.S. … this date always make me say this famous quote “Et tu, Brutus ?” … Which makes the person I say it to go “huh?” :smiley: )

Ooh, I forgot about that… If I had told anyone, they would have gotten pissed at me. Our teacher for that class is a neo nazi. seriously.

What exactly does Ides mean?

From dictionary.com: ides

Wikipedia: Roman Calendar

Et tu, Brute? Brute being the vocative case of Brutus.

Damn Greg, I didn’t know you were such School Marm. Are you sure you’re an engineer?

I have another reason to beware of the Ides of March, it’s ny ex-wife’s birthday.

LOL ! …

my Latin teacher would have slapped the back of my head for that one

Truth be known, I remember very little now.
No longer do the Latin derivatives help me determine word meanings :frowning:
