Ides of March

This is the front page of today’s Diaro. It recounts the death of Julio César and his wife who both died the day prior (the 15th of March) after an out of control bus whose driver had been shot crashed into their car in the capital.

Now there is nothing humorous about a fatal car accident, but I did find it extremely ironic that a man named Julio César, the equivalent of Julius Caesar in English, would make the front page of the newspaper after being killed on March 15.

Beware the Ides of March.
