Will someone please tell me what the hell the 'Ides of March' is? I'm sure it has something to do with March, but nothing really strikes me as special about this month (yet), so I don't think I'm going to be able to figure it out on my own. I did at least find out the meaning of St. Patrick's day, which was tragically overdue, but better let then

"The ideas of March" is a reference to the Shakespeare play Julius Caesar. It means the middle day (the 15th) of March. Famously (I'm not sure if it's actually historical, but it's how it happens in the play), Caesar was murdered on March 15th. The whole "Beware the ides of March" thing was a warning to Caesar to not go out that day, lest he be stabbed and whatnot.

Hahaha. Oops. I wrote "ideas of March." I meant "ides."
