> [@WormTheRed](#): > > Tyrants must die = Brutus > Body dead = Booth > Requiem = Brahms > Brandenburger = Bach > > Ya savvy? Ah ha, yes, I savvy! Then might I be permitted to nitpick that Junius was not Marcus Junius Brutus’ first name, so the initials JB don’t really work? “Sic semper tyrannis” was also famously said by Mr. John W. Booth after he shot President Lincoln. (hence my concern over which question went with which answer) 😃 It’s a pretty pedantic nitpick, I know, but, then again, aren’t they all? ---
