Et Tu Brute? Has A Whole Different Meaning

Are you familiar with Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar"? I am. That was the worst week of English class ever back in my sophomore year of high school. If you aren't, then the line "Et Tu Brute?" may need some explaining. Its what Caesar says when his friend Brutus stabs him. Its translated into, "And You Brutus?" Are you also familiar with how this play is shown? I'm not, but I definately know that this isn't supposed to happen.

At a Colorado showing of the play, something really bad happened. The actor playing Brutus was reciting his lines when he accidently stabbed himself with his knife. But shouldn't you be using a toy knife while acting in a play? Obviously not becuase the show had to stop for him. Hopefully the audience got a refund, but then again, that would have been pretty funny to see some guy hurt himself.

its awesome
