From the late Arthur C. Clarke...

"The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible."

44 BC - Julius Caeser - Beware the Ides of March

Caesar summoned the Senate to meet in the Theater of Pompey on the Ides of March. A certain seer warned Caesar to be on his guard against a great peril on the day of the month of March which the Romans call the Ides; and when the day had come and Caesar was on his way to the senate-house, he greeted the seer with a jest and said: "The Ides of March has come," and the seer said to him softly: "Yes, the Ides of March has come, but it has not passed."

As the Senate convened, Caesar was attacked and stabbed to death by a group of senators who called themselves the "Liberators"; they justified their action on the grounds that they committed tyrannicide and were preserving the Republic from Caesar's alleged monarchical ambitions.

Two good thoughts for this day, March 1, 2008

Character is what a person is in the dark.

Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.
