Interesting factoid of the day:

"Sic semper tyrannis," ("thus ever to tyrants") the phrase supposedly shouted by John Wilkes Booth as he shot President Lincoln, is originally attributed to Marcus Junius Brutus, at the assasination of Julius Caesar.  The interesting part is that Booth's father and brother were both named Marcus Junius.

he was also an Actor, so it makes total sense that he would be all dramatic and quote Brutus

but the name thing is very interesting regardless
