Coup in Arrakis Capitol Leaves Region in Flux

Rube_Goldberg_Mentat writes: The power struggles between rival houses Atreides and Harkonnen have come to a T. It was reported earlier today that a coup led by Baron Vladimir Harkonnen was staged in the capitol of Arrakis. The House Atreides, which had only recently taken command of the planet and of the spice trade, is reported to have no survivors, though this is yet to be confirmed.Naysayers fear a collapse of the spice economy as a result of the violence. A r presentative from House Harkonnen has shared with the press that though times ahead may be rocky, "the spice will still flow."

April Fools Whiners

Bitching about how April fools this year is the WORST ever, and that it has jumped the shark has become a /. staple.

Though, I don't think anything (not even OMG Ponies!) could top Beta as a joke.

Seriously though people, who shat on your lawn this morning?

I really, really hate April Fool's day.

Everyone with access to the internet thinks they're a comedian. Now it looks like it's "Post Something Based On A Science Fiction Novel Day". Great...
