IDES OF MARCH- March 15th (Roman Calendar)

In Julius Caesar, a soothsayer warns Caesar to "Beware the Ides of March." Caesar ignores the warning and is, in fact, murdered on March 15, called "the Ides" on the Roman calendar. Over time, the date has become associated with doom and momentous events-particularly ones with disastrous effects.

1. What superstitions do you know? For example, spilling salt, etc… Are they good or bad?
