You may be interested to know that I saw today was the 15th of September and wondered why I had never heard 9/15 referred to as the “Ides of September.” That handy internet doohickey revealed that the Roman calendar designated an “Ides” for every month (Ides comes from a Latin word that means “to divide). Turns out I was two days and a couple of dollars short as the “Ides of September” was on the 13th. Who knew? (The answer is probably a lot of people smarter than this guy knew this.)
