Incorrect.

Ah crap, I was thinking of the thread starter. I can’t post the right answer now, can I?

I’m scared to search for that phrase and must leave work (and I’m out of my league) ! Fun game, and good luck all. I’ll take my $300 in Rice-a-Roni and be out.

Have a nice one!

(searching, by the way, is allowed by default since I wouldn’t know if someone searched for the answer or not)

Let’s see if my memory serves me…

Who is Muad’Dib?

Yeah, this is why when you search you have to amke sure that the answer you get from that search is in fact correct. In my defense, Dio did name his thread that, but it’s not where it was started – I was there, though I’m not sure if I posted.

Hm. Odd. I’ve only ever seen Muad’Dib’s one..but I’m not refuting your claim. If you can find it and show it’s earlier than the other, I’ll change it the points. :slight_smile:

What is Semen?

It’s not. Dio’s OP was 6/24/2004, and the last post to Muad’Dib’s was 6/16/2004. Close, but certainly not enough. Oh, well.
