Yes, it is way off topic, so let's stop contributing to it here.

Some interesting Google talk on ides of March...

The term Ides comes from the earliest Roman calendar, which is said to have
been devised by Romulus, the mythical founder of Rome. Whether it was Romulus or not, the inventor of this calendar had a penchant for complexity.
The Roman calendar organized its months around three days, each of which served as a reference point for counting the other days:

Kalends (1st day of the month)
Nones (the 7th day in March, May, July, and October; the 5th in the other months)
Ides (the 15th day in March, May, July, and October; the 13th in the other months)

The remaining, unnamed days of the month were identified by counting backwards from the Kalends, Nones, or the Ides. For example, March 3 would be V Nones-5 days before the Nones (the Roman method of counting days was inclusive; in other words, the Nones would be counted as one of the 5 days).

www.novaroma.org might be able to clear up what day the Ides of March falls
on, I think they have a Roman calendar in there somewhere.

Actually, the Ides of March is the 15th, so it has not passed yet, beware.
