[Novalug] Meeting this Saturday

[jecottrell3 at comcast.net]

What? Have you not read the books, seen the movie, and later the Miniseries?

Required Reading at the Academy. At least check out the 1984 movie "Dune" by David Lynch. Lots of great people in it.

Wikipedia states:

"In the series, the sandworms  — called Shai-Hulud (pronounced /ˈʃaɪ hʉˈluːd/[2]) among the Fremen of the desert planet Arrakis (Dune)  — are worshiped as manifestations of "the earth deity of Fremen hearth superstitions." The Fremen believe that the actions of the sandworms are the direct actions of God, and so the worms have been given numerous titles such as the "Great Maker", "The Maker", and the "Worm who is God."

The "Maker Culture", of course, would be the Fremen.

P.S. If you looked up the Punk Band...you took the wrong turn
