| Caesar's last breath (idea) | by liveforever |
We've all heard the old saw that Caesar's dying breath contained so many molecules that every breath we draw contains at least one of them. But human bodies produce other exhalations...

| Caesar's last breath (poetry) | by Lord Brawl |
I wasn't too old when I first was told
the tale of Caesar's breath,
