  • Okay let’s try to decipher this

    • Africa and South America are swapped and mirrored
    • Greenland and Australia are swapped
    • Iceland and Madagascar are swapped
    • Southeast Asia is where Central America belongs
    • Italy is where Florida belongs
    • Korea is where Italy belongs
    • Central America is in place of the Arabian peninsula
    • The arabian peninsula is in place of SE asia
    • Florida is hanging out where Korea should be
    • Japan and New Zealand are swapped
    • England and the Philippines are swapped
    • I think that’s Indonesia floating where Scandinavia should be
    • Scandinavia has relocated to just above the Hudson bay
    • Alaska and Eastern Russia have switched places

    I feel like there’s probably more I’m missing but my brain just doesn’t want to process this mess












  • If you’re like me and assumed that the crab crawled into an orifice of the sponge and took up residence, fear not, this is not the case. (Unless you’re into that sort of thing I guess)

    The sponge attaches itself to the hermit crab’s normally selected empty seashell and lives there until eventually the shell dissolves and the crab winds up living inside the sponge.

    I see. It’s been awhile since I read the books but that does make sense. I suppose they couldn’t exactly strip his claim over Caladan without just cause without aggravating the other houses, which was kinda the whole point of the Arrakis ploy to begin with.

    I doubt the spacing guild would let two political refugees ship an ocean’s worth of water to some random Fremen seitch anyway. Haha

    Do they though? They made it seem like their departure from Caladan was permanent. And Leto I was well aware that being granted control over Arakkis was a trap being laid by the emperor and the Harkonens, even if he did still hold out hope he could outmaneuver it. I doubt they would have left him his nice cozy fiefdom back on Caladan to retreat to if he managed to escape.



  • Then the Aramaic texts were translated into Greek, which were then spread in the Roman empire, until eventually a Roman caesar was converted, who then made it the state religion, which after the empire collapsed the church apparatus that survived used the fact that only the educated elite still spoke Latin as a form of political control, which then caused then cultural perception of Latin to be associated with the arcane and powerful.

    So presto chango Latin speaking Satan was born
