  • It is March 15, one of the most famous days in history, owing to March 15, 44 BC, when a group of Roman senators chose to express their disagreement with Julius Caesar' by stabbing him twenty three times. Since that time March 15 has often been perceived as a day of ill omen. Ill omen or no, it is certainly a day on which much has occurred in history.

    My brother was born on March 15th. He lived a turbulent life. Started with a horrible sinus infection leading to encephalitis. This left him with a minor brain injury and seizures. Later on he had a seizure and fell into a pool and drowned. My mom was able to revive him. He spent some time in a coma at the hospital. When he woke up he was mentally 3rd grade. At the age of 19 he had another seizer and died in the ocean. Beware the ides of March is very powerful with me. Happy birthday Robby.

    I really enjoy all of your videos. They are informative and entertaining at the same time. Any chance you would consider a video on the Johnstown, PA flood of 1889. Over 2,200 people lost their lives. It is history that I feel needs to be remembered. Thank you for the great videos.

    I'll admit, I did kind of zone out for a bit, until I heard "Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel" - "WHOA, TOTALLY BACK ON TRACK, WHAT ELSE YA GOT, LANCE?!"
