So, I see this little sickness has "spread". Isn't it amaz<<< how quickly such a th<<< "cums" and goes? I hope you "feel" better, now. Or, did you "feel" better a few minutes ago? And, I hope everyth<<< went in and "came" out alright? Or, did you have to repeat?cellis said:
Oh, you may have noticed I have a mild case of what EB plus Celis seem to have. It's not as contagious. It is less than theirs. It's a variant of the original virus.
So, you just changed your keyboard, EB? Was that a cure, or did the virus just take a different course?

*laughs* you guys are so much fun!
but have you ever read about a language virus? this would be a good example of one, where people pick up the odd/incorrect language habbits of others. and example of a language virus are slang words like "dude" or "man"
thier's also pharases or ways of wording things that are language virus's

Has he read the prequels, by Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert? Not bad, although don't quite have Frank Herbert's same style. (Dune was written the year I was born, and in my opinion is still the best Science Fiction novel ever.)
I only read "God Emperer of Dune" the once though. God, what a horrendously boring book! It reminds me of reading Deuteronomy. Thankfully the series picks up again after that.
Both the books I recommended earlier are good reads, by the way. So feel free to recommend them to your hubby. The Neil Stephenson has the BEST beginning I've ever read in a story! (All about a pizza delivery, where the Mafia own the pizza company, and the delivery HAS to be on time...)

he keeps tryign to talk me into reading dune, but i have alot of other stuff i've been reading. but i will pass on the suggestion. and it sounds like the wo uld like the Stephenson book... he's obessed with that hitchhikers guide to the galaxy writer. we have the radio transcripts around the apartment somewhere.

I have the radio scripts as well (Douglas Adams is the author, by the way.) Sadly he died a couple of years ago. I haven't read his last book though.
Um... unless you are into SF, Dune is a hard book to read. Frank Herbert throws in a hell of a lot of concepts and relies on inference to explain them.
You might enjoy the Neil Stephenson, but then again, you might not. It's a bit on the wierd side. (For someone who reads Frank Herbert, that won't be a problem!)

i can handle weird, and from what patrick says it sounds like thier are alot of intresting things in the dune books... i understand mr herbert spent years researching mythology and such to write it.
though i was also thinking the language virus is omething Heidagger wrote alot about...but that's not sci fi.
it is good to find someone who reads though! kudos! you keep getting cooler FungiUg

Well, it's officially spring, so hopefully I'll be getting warmer!
Yeah, the work behind Dune shows in the sheer scope of the book. It's on the same epic scope as The Lord of the Rings (my favourite movies at the moment!) which is why the single move and the TV series didn't really capture the soul of the book.
I'm not familiar with Heidegger (other than the Monty Python drinking song that is) so I can't comment there. But in many ways the nature of language (and with it intelligence, because it would be hard to have one without the other) is viral.

And now for something completely different...
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed!
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!
