Jᴀᴄᴜʀᴜᴛᴜ - Tʜᴇ Cᴀsᴛ Oᴜᴛ

Long time, no post. Went and got hitched and just found out my swimmers are strong as ever. Gonna be 45 years old when the new Dune fan hatches. Am I nuts? Oh hell yes. Already have an 11 and 14 year old - that path done grew over. Should be an adventure though!

Congrats!

Already on it.

Good to hear from you, and congrats.

Congrats! And for good measure...

Awesome, dude.

Babies are better than Dune. Congratulations, my man!

Mabruk, Mabruk! Alf mabruk!

I wonder how Dune will be received by future generations... I hope your kids love it as much as we do!

Congrats Spice. How do your children feel about the soon-to-be new addition?

Oh don't feel too bad. Got a friend whose first son was 19 when her second son was born.

I would imagine it'd be about the same, since it's already in its "future generations". It'll probably eventually fade until it's only a "classic" that people read like Tolstoi, more because they're told to than because they actually want to (not that he isn't good). That'll probably take a good many generations though.

I was looking at it more like how Dune will be perceived when religions clash and join and new philosophies emerge. After I posted I realized Dune isn't that special since every science fiction is a little prophetic, but I'd I'm still curious how Dune compares to our future religions.

Ah, I see your point, I imagine it'll be interesting. We'll sure as hell never see Buddhislam though, that was a funny one.

Congratulations! Another one to add to the jihad!

Hey watch out for that Jihad thing!
