Don't Beware The Ides Of March

On this date 2050 years ago*, Julius Caesar was said to have been assassinated. Again according to William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar received the warning "Beware the Ides of March!" from a fortuneteller in the play Julius Caesar. Later in the play, he is assassinated on the ides of March (March 15).

Neither I'm Caesar nor do I consult fortunetellers. Hence, I' reckon that this day bears no harm to me.

* There might be an error in this figure due to the mix up between the Gregorian and Julian calendar.
