The place where Caesar was murdered is now a cat shelter

@Bulb The Pharaoh's revenge.

@jinpa The pharoah's revenge on whom? I think she would be mad at the murderers rather than at Cesar.
-
@Bulb I guess it depends on whether the site was more of a shrine to the Caesarians or the Brutes.
-
@jinpa Well, it was Caesar who was promptly deified, while as far as I can tell none of the conspirators who killed him was (the ensuing power struggle was eventually won by Caesar's great-nephew Octavianus who has been loyal to Caesar).
The place where he was killed had some shrines already though, while Caesar's shrine would be built elsewhere, on the Forum (the main town square; this place was not on the Forum as the usual Senate building on the Forum has had been damaged by fire at the time).
Also, there were no “Brutes”, it was just one guy named “Brutus” who was among the assassins though Caesar thought he'd be loyal (it is thought, though not confirmed, that Brutus was Caesar's bastard son).

I thought this was the topic for bad puns. (See also Caesarians.) "Brute", FWIW, comes from the name Brutus.

So his name was basically "Mr. Thicky".

So I'm out walking around playing a game on my phone, but it's March. So I say to myself
"I'm getting too cold for this shit."
Of course, I do okay until I start to screw up from overconfidence... at which point I say to myself
"I'm getting too bold for this shit."
What's nice is, there's a thing going on in-game that lets me gain double advantage at the moment, so
"I'm getting two-fold for this shit."
-
But the payoffs are really meager, and after a long grind all you can say is
I’m getting two gold for this shit.

Reminds me, I noticed the other day the cashier in one of the local supermarkets is called Mwanamkasi, which translates literally as "scissor child". I haven't asked her yet how she got that name but I have a theory.

Only in the same sense that man descends from the apes. "Brute" comes from Old Frech "brut", which comes from the same Latin "brutus" as the name, but had changed in meaning already.

One or two, depending on your interpretation of the word "Ireland".

I smell a rat (as opposed to a hamster). What are the chances that the most famous assassin in history was named "brutish" at birth? (Merriam-Webster says that brutish is "from Latin brutus brutish". Were his parents hoping he would grow up to stab someone to death?
How reliable are the Latin sources on the details of the event?

"Brutus" was a relatively well known Latin cognomen, used by a branch of the Junii.

Probably a variation of "runs with scissors".

@boomzilla I don't get it, possibly because I'm pronouncing it differently in my mind.

@Benjamin-Hall The idea of there being a correct temperature to bake pizza hawaii at offends me. Unless that temperature is above, say, 1000°C.
