Hildur (bokahaus) I'm Icelandic so my English could be better... I for instance wouldn't mind finding out what "Ides of March" means.
Can anyone explain tell me?

Silver The Ides of March means the 15th of March. It is the first day of the Roman New Year, and also the first day of spring on the Roman calendar. As well it was the day Julius Caesar was assinated.
