Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

The SF Masterworks artwork for Le Guin's The Dispossessed has what seems to me to be a pretty clear reference to a stillsuit on it. Half of the story takes place on an arid planet. I wonder if you agree.

I've come across 'Dune Sietchposting' on facebook. Seems to be pretty good meme content, and from what I've seen a distinctly anti BHKJA flavour.

Apparently the digital version of Tool's recent album Fear Inoculum has instrumental interlude tracks, one of which is called Litanie contra la peur, French for Litany Against Fear. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Is this from Young Sheldon?
