"We all have crazy, disturbing things that our canons have in some way.
So why don't we have fun and "wtf?" about it together?!

Hoooo boy. In addition to the fact that the economy of the galaxy is dependant on the excretion of giant worms on which brave, manly men ride and attract with rythm (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HoYay)...And the leaders of the galaxy settle disputes with knife fights...

-There's the sex hypnotism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bene_gesserit#Sexual_talents)

-"There was an adult beefswelling in his loins and he felt his mouth open, holding, clinging to the girder-shape of ecstasy. Then a sigh, a lingering groundswelling sweetness, a collapse." Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.

-Only major gay character? A floating, bloated, scheming pedo. (http://dune.wikia.com/wiki/Vladimir_Harkonnen)

I guess what i'm trying to say is, Frank Herbert was a dirty old man.

And that's not even counting the WTF that comes from the non-canon movie (milking cats, weirding modules) and "sequel/prequel/andquel" books by Brian Herbert/Kevin J Anderson (Bene Gesserit Guilt Sorcery, Paul and Chani are alive at the end)
