Anybody with a decent sized brain can tell you what the ides of march are. The 15th of march. It was made famous in Shakespear's play Julius Ceasar, when Ceasar is warned by a soothsayer to "beware the ides of March" (March the 15th). Then ceasar is killed, on 15 March. Since then, the phrase has come to be a fairly common warning of some danger.
