You're welcome. I liked the proof in that it measured the last breath without requiring adherence to the particular dubious Shakespearian fiction that his last utterance was "
Et tu Brute? Then die Caesar."
As any schoolboy knows, Gaius Julius Caesar's last words were probably "And you, child?" uttered in Greek, or as Suetonius more particularly recounts in his Divus Julius, "
atque ita tribus et uiginti plagis confossus est uno modo ad primum ictum gemitu sine uoce edito, etsi tradiderunt quidam Marco Bruto irruenti dixisse: 'kai su teknon . . . ."
Id. at 82.
Hank, like Caesar, is probably coated in a thin omnipresent veneer of fecal coliform bacteria. We touch greatness daily.
