What is the moral lesson of this invaluable device (http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150148488658110) ?
If only people would take heed, there'll be far less casualties......

If anyone knows where one can acquire these boxes, please post links........I would like one.

Nice to know there are others who appreciate the works of Frank Herbert in this forum. I read the Dune Saga 3 times..................The Pliocene Exile Saga by Julian May 4 times, Lord of the Rings...... lost count.........etcetera etcetera.

For those who doesn't have enough time to build one from scratch, Solarbotics.com (http://www.solarbotics.com/products/60005/) sells it in kit form.

I would like to have one, spray paint it, and have " Flip Switch for Customer Service " printed then have it placed on desk.

The entire saga or the first three...cause after the first three it goes downhill fast :p

Through all six to end of Chapterhouse Dune. I'm an avid Frank Herbert fan, was a sad Day when he went to meet his Maker.
