The Ides of March marks the anniversary of Julius Caesar's assassination by Brutus and Cassius. This coin, just put on display at the British Museum, commemorates the event. As the story goes, a seer warned Caesar, "beware the ides of March," which Caesar regrettably ignored, as would most dictators in perpetuity. Have you ever been warned about some impending doom in your future? Like if you keep eating girl scout cookies, your ass will get bigger?

fall asleep counting gummi bears
Did anyone else bite the heads of two different color gummi bears and then reattach the body of one color with the head of the other Frankenstein style? I know I did. Fabulous fun! This gummi chandelier would have me jumping on my bed, head back and teeth gnashing. 50 lbs of gummis!!!!!
