Beware noble piggies and watch your back! It's the Ides of March! 🐹 🗓️ 🗡️ 🥕 🥕 🥕

Note to self: Cancel that Senate meeting ...

This period in the calendar year has a troublesome history, and for good reason!

On the Ides of March (March 15th, 44 BC) Julius Caesar, the Roman head of the herd with a salad named after him, decided to ignore his calendar and the mysterious guinea pig soothsayer's dire warnings. Bit of a mistake ...

"Beware the Ides of March," squeaked the cloaked rodent, but Caesar, ever the optimist, thought it was just advice on avoiding bad lettuce. Little did he know, the only thing more treacherous than the Senate's whispers were the Ides themselves, proving that sometimes, even in ancient Rome, it pays to listen to a long-toothed soothsayer, Cavia Porcellus!

And so, Caesar learned the hard way that in the grand salad of life, he was just another crouton waiting to be tossed. Sigh.

He should have listened ... Et tu, Brute?

Wheek Wheek! Ouch!
