FYI, I had a power cut last night from before I got home until 1am... kind of made me wish I had a book laying around :sigh: :doh: :laugh:

And look at the dogs breakfast film has made (so far..) of the likes of Dune?
Hey, don't knock it! The 1984 version had Picard, agent Dale Cooper, Admiral Al Calavicci, and Chucky all in the same film. :-D (And Sting, but we'll try to forget that.) Still looking forward to seeing how this year's version fares. :) Dune (2020 film) - Wikipedia[^]

Ah, the spice. "the only source of the most valuable substance in the universe, "the spice", a drug which extends human life, provides superhuman levels of thought, and makes foldspace travel possible." In reality, it would be snake oil. Dune creates a fiction where a new discovery can truly do everything. If I could remember all the scientists who boasted that their new discovery could cure all of the human ills and then some. (I do remember a blurb some time ago about one scientist and his discovery of what more Vitamin C could do.)
