"On a famous occasion during the civil war, Caesar tripped when disembarking from a ship on the shores of Africa and fell flat on his face. With his talent for improvisation, he spread out his arms and embraced the earth as a symbol of conquest. By quick thinking he turned a terrible omen of failure into one of victory."
-Cicero: The Life and Times of Rome's Greatest Politician, by Anthony Everitt, 2001

Slick guy over here
