The Codex of Zuka
Squidslinger Gilder:
"When Zuka gets angry he goes into Incredible Zuka mode. 50/50 chance his clothes stay on"
"The last time Zuka got angry, he created the Flayed Hills. Formerly known as the Pacific Ocean"
"Spider-Zuka is just Zuka throwing spiders at criminals. Shelob sized spiders..."
"Batzuka is actually the name of Zuka's pet bat. It has it's own 60s theme song which it sings from dark corners of rooms with glowing red eyes"
HamsterIV:
* In the grim darkness of the distant future there is only Zuka.
* To Zukatize is to alert regional chat that there is a game which contains Zuka.
* Doctors must take the Hippocratic Oath, Sky Marshals must take the Zukaratic Oath.
* The only fear Zuka knows is the fear that someone will go their whole life without ever being Zukaed.
* A county fare once sold Zukadogs instead of hot dogs, they ran out within the first hour because one can never have enough Zuka.
* Zukariticism is Zuka's way of telling you what you did wrong. You should feel bad for having failed Zuka.
Squidslinger Gilder:
"In space Zuka can hear you scream"
"Soldiers cry "Get to da CHOPPA!!" Airmen cry "Get to da ZUKA!!"
"Hairs on the back of your neck standing up is a form of passive sonar for telling if Zuka is near"
"Zuka has eaten microwave sushi naked in the back of a Cadillac. The car has since been preserved in the Zukasonian museum"
HamsterIV:
* Julius Caesar's last words were "Et tu Zukae?" because it was Zuka who shanked him.
* The sinking of the Titanic was an unfortunate side effect of Zuka experimenting with Locknigar rounds.
* Zuka lighting his farts served as Gabriele's inspiration for lighter than air travel.
* The odds of Zuka missing two shots in a row are lower than the odds of being attacked by a great white shark at the top of Mount Everest.
* Zuka keeps a tank full of great white sharks in a balloon over Mount Everest just in case.
* Most people only experience a partial Zuka, those who have experienced a full Zuka are changed for life.

That doesn't work. In the phrase "Et tu, Brute", you get Brute from Brutus because it's vocative, I.e. Brutus is the one being addressed. The vocative of Zuka isn't Zukae. Zukae would be dative or genitive singular, or nominative/vocative plural. So "Et tu, Zukae" could translate to the nonsensical "You too, of Zuka", "You too, to Zuka", or "You to, Zukas". Note that while the last sentence seems gramatically correct in English, Latin's use of different pronouns in second person for singular and plural makes it so that it's not the case.
The correct sentence would simply be "Et tu, Zuka"
