correctamundo!
Now who said it and where?
Julias ceaser i think but i cant remember where, have been told by one of the guys at work that he said it while crossing the rubicon.
“Milk is good”
Or the less formal translation “Breastfeeding kicks ass”.
I could be wrong though. My Latin is a bit rusty.
“lacta alea est”
While the show Jeopardy was playing in the background I overheard this and that the term means “the future is inevitable”. I found that interesting so I decided to look it up online to confirm but I could not find much. I found something stating that it means “the die is cast” quoting Julius Cesar.
I like the term “the future is inevitable” quite a bit better. It sounds cooler, any Latin experts?
I don’t know if anyone will ever see this or not, but I looked it up and the question on the episode of jeopardy you are talking about was “The future is inevitable, or at least according to this phrase translated into latin as Lacta Alea Est?” The answer was the die is cast.
