Not for another month, Tassy.
Today is a day of quiet meditative reflection on some poor power-hungry bloke who's victories made Rome the largest empire in antiquity, and who developed a calendar we still use as the basis for our present-day calendar (he invented leap year), constructed a great public library system, furthered sewage technology, was loved by his people, and then was summarily and brutally assassinated by some of his closest colleagues and friends for being an over-controlling tyrannical bastard.... after which he was made a god.
Figures we'd remember one of the greater brawls of all time right before celebrating a drunken Irish holiday.
