      Er..I assumed it was some sort of street slang and skimmed over it.

      ...ah...just googled...some sort of kangaroo mouse ????
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              Films yes. Books no. The size of the things scared me.

                May I point out that Paul Atriedes is referred to as Mu'ad dib pretty often in the film...........

                  Something I have learned while living in the back end of beyond is that pigsh it is not thick unless compared with, say, a light oil.

                  A MacDonald's shake is decidedly thicker (as are the staff); indeed my overall impression of pigsh it is of "arse gravy".

                  Owing to my very limited experience, I do not know whether this stands true for pigs elsewhere in the country. For all I know, those of other counties lay robust copper cables.
