What do you call the mouse shadow on the second moon?

Stilgar: We call that one Muad'Dib.

Paul: Hmmm... I don't like that name. Wheels within in wheels... what is Stilgar's point in bringing me out here to ask about shadows? Does he have a gom jabbar? I cannot see him in the future. What is his role in all this? Why is his future obscured to me? What do you call the Hello Kitty-shaped hot fudge sundae shadow on the first moon?

Stilgar: He shall know your Hello Kitty as though he born of you. We call that one Sweet Brickle Tum Tum Tummy Tum Tum Yummy Food Goodness Hummmm Like Honey Yum. How would he know to ask of this shadow? Is he the Lisan al Gaib?

Paul: Could I be known as Sweet Brickle Tum Tum Tummy Tum Tum Yummy Food Goodness Hummmm Like Honey Yum?

Stilgar: You're a moron.

1. I don't know. He didn't ask that in the novel.
He asked about the mouse itself. Later, the baron was ironically amused to find out that Maud'Dib means "the mouse."

3. Funny but not as good as your classic "First of all we didn't drink our own pee"

6. Well, it's going to be tough to top that one.
I'll keep trying, though.

4. What about the Harkonnens?
To attempt an understanding of Muad'Dib without understanding his mortal enemies, the Harkonnens, is to attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing Darkness. It is the attempt to urinate without first removing your boxers. It cannot be; at least not without getting messy.

7. "And then Muad'Dib totally popped a cap in Feyd's ass. Fucker didn't know what hit him.

And Muad'Dib claimed the territory of the universe for his mad posse from rival gang leader, the Padishah Shiznits."

8. With regards to prophecy and prescience...
Prophecy and prescience — How can they be put to the test in the face of the unanswered questions? Consider: How much is actual prediction of the "wave form" (as Muad'Dib referred to his vision-image) and how much is the prophet shaping the future to fit the prophecy? What of the harmonics inherent in the act of prophecy? Does the prophet see the future or does he see a line of weakness, a fault or cleavage that he may shatter with words or decisions as a diamond-cutter shatters his gem with a blow of a knife? Or is he just snockered on spice beer and blowing nonsense out of the anal tube of his stillsuit? To know this is to know the ways of the Kwisatz Haderach and shit.

5. From the Stolen Journals:
Oh, the landscapes I have seen! And the people! The far wanderings of the Fremen and all the rest of it. Even back through the myths to Terra. Oh, the lessons in astronomy and intrigue, the migrations, the disheveled flights, the leg-aching and lung-aching runs through so many nights on all of those cosmic specs where we have defended our transient possession. The music, the movies..and the finale to Battlestar Galactica! I tell you we are a marvel and my memories leave no doubt of this.
