You know, I always wanted to know something about those sand worms. A new definition of pain and suffering as you are digested over 1000 years? Doesn't the Hutt know his alien biology? I mean, I don't know about his species, who look like they have the fat to spare to survive that long, but we humans aren't going to be alive for more than 7 days at the most in there, and with such an amazingly slow digestion rate, I imagine the pain wouldn't really be all that great over that small period of time. What, does the creature purposefully keep it's prey alive LONGER than their normal lifespan for some odd reason?
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
