Talk:Stone burner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Genesis

The paragraph or two about Dune Encyclopedia's entry should either be quoted or deleted. I don't know the precise quote, but it's just sort of silly right now to say that Earth is the planet that humans "supposedly" came from.

Oops. Quite right- in fact I remember in GEoD that Leto directly reminsces about humanity's origin on Earth. I just changed it. Thanks, and next time may I suggest you add a signature? --maru 22:57, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps my memory is faulty, but I thought that what happened with the shield wall was that a laser intersected the shield thus producing an explosion that only looked like it could be atomic. I seem to remember there being some concern that it could be misinterpreted. Am I misremembering this? -- Andrew Lias

No, your memory is faulty on that one. Towards the end of Dune, prior to becoming Emperor, Paul is questioned/harrassed/accused of using atomics in violation of the Great Convention, to which he responds something along the lines of "I used atomics against a natural rock formation, not humans."--Vidkun 15:20, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

For an article about stone burners, there seems to be a fair amount of commentry on the economics of the Soviet Union. Relevance?
