Emperor Devon Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Sounds good. Now they won't use 4-year olds as jockeys. (Provided the robot works.) If you've ever read the prequals to the dune series, this'll make you very nervous... Robots! On camels! THEY'LL ENSLAVE US ALL!! Whoops, got carried away... *laughs meekly*
Derc Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Activists say there are about 40,000 boy jockeys, some as young as 4, who are either bought from their parents or kidnapped from their home countries and taken to the Gulf to ride. WTF? Well, what'll happen to them now?

Sabretooth Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 Heard of this in da Swamp. That's a good idea, actually. Camel racing with 4-year olds is as good as podracing with non-functional droids. Or something close to that. Whatever the case, the Middle-East area will always be a little weird in my opinion.

RedHawke Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Originally posted by Hallucination I prefer beating sticks. Weapon of choice. Man I need to re-read the Dune series. Weren't those called "thumpers"?

Hallucination Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 ^^^ And i meant re-reading all of BH and FH's dune books
