Everything You Think Is Wrong/Ides of March

The day was first created so people could... what? Find out! Maybe just avoid making a decision, maybe spend a moment of zen contemplating human fallibility... how you celebrate is your business (although we'd love for you to share!) For more on the day, visit this page on NationalDayCalendar.com.

This is another one of those two-for-one days, because today is also Ides of March! In 44 BC, it became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history. More on that here, courtesy of National Geographic.
