In fact, they're probably older than his kid!
But he's probably tickled pinkish just to be able to fit into them again.

Meh, that's not so bad. Anyone call you "Tad"? Or tease you with "Tadpole"?Sandwurm88 wrote:My middle name's Thaddaeus.

I told people to call me Moody anyway, really just to fuck with him. All my stoner friends would call, my dad would pick up and they would say, "hey man, is MOOOOOOoooooOOOOOODY there?" or something annoying like that. It really chapped his ass so I kept it up for years.Freakzilla wrote:I think you came out on top in that deal... no offense.

Um... Seeing how the The Dune Encyclopedia is supposedly based on materials found at Dar-es-Balat LONG AFTER Leto's death, if you're reading every piece of fan fiction related to Dune in "chronological order", the only sensible thing to do would be to read The Encyclopedia AFTER GEoD. There's really no question, is there? He really is a stupid little turd, isn't he?I'm planning to (re-?)read the books in chronological order but am not sure where to read Hadi Benotto's in-Duniverse book, The Dune Encyclopedia.

The only remotely interesting question here (which arnoldo kinda dances around in typical arnoldo fashion but seems to miss completely) might be whether FH meant references to Benotto's work only in his own books or if he might possibly have had The Encyclopedia in mind as well.FH in Heretics wrote: He found himself gripped by accounts from the archeological team that had found the Tyrant's primitive no-chamber on Rakis. Dar-es-Balat, the place was called. The reports by Archeologist Hadi Benotto were marked "Suppressed by orders of the Rakian Priesthood." The file number on the accounts from Bene Gesserit Archives was a long one and what Benotto revealed was fascinating.

"Let us not forget the Hadi Benotto translation of God's own holy words," another priest interrupted. "Shai-hulud referred many times to Siona."
Reading is fundamental - the chamber is from the time of the Tyrant, but pre-dates the Tyrant's own chamber at Dar-es-Balat.Harkonnen No-Chamber wrote:boredadmin wrote:Very cool!arnoldo wrote:"I agree it's primitive but it's also fascinating." Teg lifted his gaze to the scrollwork on the nearby kitchen ceiling. The moment of decision had arrived. Lucilla could not be depended upon to remain distracted much longer. Teg shared her fascination, though. It was easy to lose yourself in these marvels. The whole no-globe complex, some two hundred meters in diameter, was a fossil preserved intact from the time of the Tyrant. It was remarkably primitive in all of its aspects, including the machinery and the nullentropy bins at the core. Teg guessed it to be much earlier than that of the Tyrant and, if the stories about Dar-es-Balat were to be trusted, this early technology represented a remarkable achievement.A Little Galach wrote:Since there is a library in the chamber one would assume that they would have been able to discern pretty quickly when it dated from.arnoldo wrote: 'cuz the UK edition of HoD suggests that no-chamber technlogy may've been pre-tyrant.
. . . Teg guessed it to be much earlier than that of the Tyrant . .
Is there anything else from that edition? The copy I have is pretty clear in the opinion of everyone involved where the date of the chamber's origin is concerned.
