Now, Wikipedia on the other hand...

Every time someone posts a link to one of them, i get lost in those pages for a long time, so I do find it incredibly addictive.

Well hopefully next time you'll go straight for the telephone. Is your mother deaf? The beeps from the telephone are hard to miss.

Duncan Idaho is the name of the ghola in the book Dune that is mentored by the Mentat-Bashar Miles Teg, formerly of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. (Did he ever leave it, or was he just on retirement? I don't remember Heretics that well).

Anyhow, Duncan Idaho was a famed swordsman and guard of House Atreides. He died fighting the Sardaukar of the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV Corrino on Arrakis before he was brought back to life as a Mentat by the Bene Tleilaxux (in cooperation with the Bene Gesserit and House Corrino) as a 'gift' to Muad'Dib, the Kwisatz Haderach, Paul Atriedes.
