Yes, a 500-foot bottle of tequila is definitely in order when you get attacked by a gigantic carnivorous purple dildo.

It's obvious that his eyes changing color will have some effect on the story in the near future. But now the question will have to be whether the spice changed them or if something else has.

One internet says he will try and ride the Maker.

That, or they face a floating fat man with the worst case of acne ever, surrounded by guys dressed in black garbage bags

Well, I tried to contain all the OOTS into one thread. It worked for all of one comic.

I was curious, so I decided to look up information on the Spice from Dune

\"The Dune Wiki\" said:
Effects on those who consume melange are outlined below:

* Mind altering: it could awaken dormant parts of the human mind and encourage expanded sensory perceptions. In some humans (notably the Bene Gesserit, Guild Navigators, and some members of the Atreides bloodline), heavy doses led to powerful abilities that include prescience;
* Health benefits: taken regularly it increased life expectancy and fortified over all health levels (in many cases life expectancy was tripled);
* Addictiveness: the spice had narcotic properties, thus increasing demand and creating a large and hungry market for it. An individual's addiction to the spice would worsen the more they consumed it.
* Physical effects: sustained use of the spice led to human eyes being discolored so that the entire eye would be stained blue. Extensive exposure to the spice created a huge physical dependency that could radically alter the entire body (see Guild navigators).

Prescience? Addiction? This sounds like it has potential.

Though on the other hand, it could just be a one-off joke.

The oracle ain't dead, foo!

Forgot about that...

And the Bene Gesserit abilities where more from drowning a sandworm (or whatever equivalent they where using in the original novel, where they didn't have the blue eyes).

It's good to read a new OOTS again. I was beginning to think Burlew had fallen off the face of the earth.
