Actually it was "Tu quoque, Brute, mi fili!" in Latin, according to Suetonius, and it is one of the saddest remarks ever made in history, from a man who thought he could trust someone he regarded as a son and that proved to be one of his assassins. Even on the point of dieing Caesar did not exclaim "You traitor!" but "You too, my son!", feeling both an immense surprise and a terrible sorrow rather than expressing physical pain or a fear of death.
Betrayals are never as hurtful as when they come from those you love and trust.

Hope I die before I get old from My Generation! Pete wrote the line,Roger sang it and Moon lived it(He died at the age of 31)! Here's another irony(I know it's not a line from a song):On the Who Are You album cover,Keith Moon is sitting on a chair marked "Not to be taken away" We Can Work It Out-The Beatles just for the whole lyrical gist of the song because in the end The Beatles(John and Paul especially)couldn't work it out! You have Paul on the verses singing "Try and see it my way"and you have John on the counterverse singing "Life is always short and there's no time for fussing and fighting" and what makes those lines of Lennon's especially ironic is that within 4 years of them being written,The Beatles were breaking up and within a decade and a half of them being written,Lennon was killed!

Julius Caesar Scaliger (Senior) and his son lived in Mediaeval Europe and were the creators of the false chronology which we use nowadays. They were numerologists who concocted some of the most blatant stories about Europe's past. Of course, they had to mention their own names in their "history".
Don't believe these mediaeval tall tales about "antiquity", "ancient lasers", "ancient computers" and Italian & Greek supremacy. They do not withstand any criticism and there is no proof.... Zero is still zero when multiplied by a million....

Brutus was a dude Caesar thought was down with him, but it turns out he wasn't. When he showed up to off the Big C, it was like, "Dude, you too?"

Because Brutus was one of the guys behind the whole plot to murder Ceasar and he was his best friend.

the irony is that "Brute" was trusted friend of Ceaser, and yet he was the one who wanted him dead. hince, the irony.
