SandChigger Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 TagDaze! I found your source for the infinity symbol: <i>Dune: House Atreides</i>:The shining new ship crowded the subterranean canyon. A fan of decorative dorsal arrays shone from the nearer side. On the fuselage, a gleaming purple-and-copper Ixian helix interlocked into <b>the larger white analemma of the Spacing Guild, symbolizing infinity inside a rounded convex cartouche</b>.They mention "the Spacing Guild's analemma sigil of infinity" on the uniforms of three Guild reps in <i>Paul of Dune</i> as well. Sorry, I didn't search the new McDune crap when we were first discussing this.If you're an FH purist, this will mean nothing, because there's no proof that the two hacks got it from FH's notes. If you don't care about such things and want to gain a few "Oh kewl" points from dim KJA fanboys, go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TagDaze Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thanks, SandChigger. That clears up a whole lot. Yeah, as you can see in this thread I've decided not to include the infinity symbol as I'm an FH purist. KJA, BH and their fanboys can kiss my grits.

SandChigger Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 No kidding. I remember first hearing it on the sitcom "Alice"...back whenever. (Early/mid-70s?) It was the tall thin red-head friend/coworker of the title character that said it all the time.Wow...staggering down memory lane.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
