Eventually we conquered Mexico a month after we set foot there. The Mexican government had too much Nazi indoctrination in their heads however and they refused to surrender while they run off to Berlin to share tacos with Hitler.

Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch!

Jacta Alea Est! (This Die is Cast)
--Julius Ceasar

Shouldn't that be "Alea iacta est"?

Jacta Alea Est! (This Die is Cast)
--Julius Ceasar

Shouldn't that be "Alea iacta est"?

no, "alea iacta est" means " the die has been cast!"
but "jacta alea est" means "the die is cast"

Hmm, j in Latin just seems wrong to me. Starting a sentence with the predicate too.

Alea iacta est (also alea jacta est, Latin: "The die has been cast")
The phrase is still used today to mean that events have passed a point of no return, that something inevitable will happen. Caesar was said to have borrowed the phrase from Menander, his favorite Greek writer of comedy. Plutarch reports that these words were said in Greek:

Ἑλληνιστὶ πρὸς τοὺς παρόντας ἐκβοήσας, «Ἀνερρίφθω κύβος», [anerriphtho kybos] διεβίβαζε τὸν στρατόν.

He [Caesar] declared in Greek with loud voice to those who were present 'Let the dice be cast' and led the army across.

– Plutarch, Life of Pompey, 60.2.9[1]

It is generally assumed, e.g. by Shakespeare, that Caesar here meant, "The dice have been cast"; i.e., "The dice are now cast", and not, "The die is cast."

According to Lewis and Short[2], the phrase used was a future active imperative, Jacta alea esto, "Let the dice be cast!", or "Let the game be ventured!" This is the meaning of Plutarch's third-person imperative ἀνεῤῥίφθω κύβος (anerrhiphtho kubos).

By the first century AD alea refers to the early form of backgammon that was played in Caesar's time. Augustus (Octavian) mentions winning this game in a letter. Dice were commonly known in Roman times and generally known as cubus. It has thus been suggested that another probable translation of the phrase would be "the (backgammon) game has begun".
