Not A Number

Soothsayer: "Beware the Ides of March!"

William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, Act I, Scene 2

🏛️

"The Romans did not number each day of a month from the first to the last day. Instead, they counted back from three fixed points of the month: the Nones (the 5th or 7th, eight days before the Ides), the Ides (the 13th for most months, but the 15th in March, May, July, and October), and the Kalends (1st of the following month)." - Wikipedia

Well, that's as clear as mud!

A few Shakespeare-based giggles for today:
