  1. I'm under the distinct impression "ides" meant "15th" . . . which would make it tomorrow.

    But I'm no Shakespeare . . .

  2. Is there open discussion on this? My impression was that "The Ides of March" was the 15th. A quick Google search tells me that the ides of some Roman months were 13ths and some were 15ths, but in March, it's the 15th.

    BUT--I figure you have a REASON to be asking for speculation on this. Care to elaborate?

    Because of this. It's since been changed back, but it does seem there is some narrowspread confusion on the issue.

  6. I neglected to have pie on Pi Day (dang it!), but we here in my apartment are celebrating the Ides of March with Little Caesar's Pizza!

    Clever.

    You can always celebrate European Pi Day instead--22/7.
