Dunenewt Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 http://io9.com/5492728/lady-gagas-latest-masterpiece-of-scifi-music-weirdnessHer poisonous Cook n' Kill recipe gives nods to Dune (Meta-Cyanide), Star Wars (Fex-M3), and Command and Conquer (Tiberium).I certainly spotted the C&C reference when I watched the video, but I haven't heard Meta-Cyanide before...which book is it in?

Dante Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 According to Wikipedia it's the poison on the gom jabbar. It's implied that it's mentioned in the original book, which would make sense, though I don't recall it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I've just read Dune, and I don't recall it being mentioned. Even though she's, it doesn't make her music worth listning to - she still sucks (goes for Iron Maiden aswell!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephaniel Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I first saw the reference to Meta-Cyanide when I read the Glossary in the back of the first book. (This was, like, 3 days ago. I'm quite new to Dune.*) I'd tried to start the book sever al times, but was bogged down by the labarynthine language and mysterious references... So I read the Appandices and Glossary first. ^^*Please don't throw stones, I'm only 18. ^^; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
