It's the Ides of March. Let us have a moment of silence for the great leader who died 2053 years ago.
...
Yesterday, as before, was Pi Day. (I'm still waiting for 2016 for two more digits to that one.) And the day before that was a Friday. It's been an interesting March for numbers so far.

Saturday Morning Watchmen
Who watches the Watchmen? Kids, apparently.
No, no, it's a parody. As should be clear from all the digs at the original Watchmen graphic novel as well as all the 80s cartoon references. But as I read through the comments on it, I found that while most reviewers loved the humour, some were offended at the light-hearted perversion of a very serious story. Kinda makes you think, what with all the recent movie adaptations such as GI Joe, TMNT and Transformers. What it would have been like if the mature treatments were the originals and the goofy cartoons made up later?
Anyway, I'd totally watch that cartoon.
