Correction to questions number 15:

15) What Dune book was jointly written by Frank Herbert and Brian Herbert?

(Due to a typo, it said Brina Herbert)

[quoudam72]

Mahdi what is the answer to Number 18? I have been trying to get Iron Maiden CDs trying to find the answer. And as far as #15 goes Mahdi you can never do anything without conterversey.:)

[Boba_Matt]

Ok, did anyone else read the answer to #9? Dune World? Ok, either something is really wrong hear, or I reeeeeeeally need to get my hands on this book. Anyone got any info on it (or a correction to answer #9?)

[tobias]

my best guess would be that the book named

"Dune" is the first, but it is a trilogy. The

first book in the "Dune" trilogy is "Dune World".

[Guest Miles Teg]

Dune World was the first of two series Analog (a SF-magazine) published. It was the first publication of Dune.

Iron Maiden: "To A Taime Land"

And I

[garth]

I thought it was "To Tame a Land" but I got it wrong apparently.

[Mahdi]

Sorry about missing putting the answer for that one guys, it is "To Tame A Land".

[exatreide]

and um number four is a moon. second moon to be exact

[Mahdi]

Nope, its a constellation. Read the book. Right when Paul and Jessica are in the stiltent.

[exatreide]

no the mouse under the second moon. not the mouse under the damn star constilation. and i have read all the dune books execpt chapter house.

[Mahdi]

"4) The first time Maud'dib is mentioned as an image in space, what is it (ie. moon, star, galaxy)?"

Trust me, its a constellation whose tail pooints north, which is where Maud'dib got the meaning "The one who points the way". At the end of the book, however, Frank Herbert and his editors screw-up by writing that it is an imag3e in the second moon, but that isn't the first time it is mentioned as a celestial body, the first time it is a constellation.

Mahdi used word play on us beware of the "old man of the desert".:)

When is the next trivia contest?

[Mahdi]

I doubt I'll be having one, only 4 people entered this one, and the last person sent in there submission a week after the answers were posted. I'd like to make another, bu there isn't any interest.

[exatreide]

i'm interested

[Mahdi]

Well, we'll see.
