On Reverend Mothers drinking the water of life.

[HarryCanyon]

So all women including Paul have drank vomit from a sandworm? sounds disgusting, people drinking creatures vomits to become a different kind of person. It's not as bad as in Peter Jackson's Bad Taste where the aliens eat each other's vomit.

Actually the Bene Gesserit drank extremely concentrated spice essence, if I remember correctly. That presumably entails some form of processing of the spice melange, which was harvested and commercially available. The water of life, given off by a drowning sandworm, was a fremen thing which the Imperium did not adopt, as shown by Murbella's Agony several thousand years after Jessica's.

Out of curiosity, Harry, do you eat eggs?

[SandChigger]

Or honey, which is fermented bint bee vomit.

Not vomitus-related, but when I went out with friends Christmas Eve, one of the appetizers was lightly cooked shirako on stewed daikon-radish.

Milt, in other words. What's a little narcotic worm vomit? :)

[HarryCanyon]

Oh yes bee-vomit is good and we all eat it, but i don't think worm vomit is that different than honey.

[SandChigger]

Oh yes bee-vomit is good and we all eat it, but i don't think worm vomit is that different than honey.

Except that honey isn't a lethal poison.

Wait a moment...

...i don't think...

There. That's more like it!
