    I think people might want to be reminded that in ancient Roman times, Caesar was pronounced more like Kaiser than like how we typically pronounce Caesar in English today.

      Julius Caesar -> Title of Caesar -> Title of Kaiser -> An Italian guy named Cesare -> A salad made in Mexico

      IIRC that was named after the chef that created it, not a Roman emperor.

          Did you know that Albert Einstein was actually named after Julius Caesar? This is because Caesar was named more than 2000 years ago, while Einstein was named much more recently.
