    LOL - perhaps I should have said "notorious" for Caesar's comet, not infamous - and my point is that for anti-Caesarians literally all over the world, it was the worst possible comment on their proceedings, since absolutely NO ONE believed it wasn't a divine portent pro Caesar, anti-murderers.

    After all, it's not good PR to have everyone believing you've murdered a divine light. I can really imagine Caesar smiling at the irony of it all, wherever he was.
