Et tu, Brute!?

On March 15, 44 BC, Julius Caesar was terminated by Roman Senators. Caesar had run into a soothsayer prior to the actual unpleasantness, who told him he was in trouble. Not paying attention, Caesar learned the hard way.

The soothsayer did not say “Beware the Ides of March” because they all spoke Latin. Cave Idus Martias was the way it was really delivered back then.

Rhinos like stories with a moral, and the moral here is: Don’t get too big for your britches. Make of that what you will…
