A few days ago, I came across the first image on Google+ [plus.google] which is screen-grab of how a statue of Владимир Ленин (Vladimir Lenin) [wiki] in Ukraine is poorly rendered in Google Earth. Location and photo of said statue are presented below. It reminded me of the Holtzman-effect shields [wiki] used in the movie, Dune (1984) [imdb]. A still from the movie is what's shown directly above. The title of this blog post relates to the film also. It is a line uttered by Patrick Stewart during a scene when the shields are used. You can view that here [youtube].

We aren't finished yet though. Another thread that keeps all items connected is the fact that Patrick Stewart once played the revolutionary leader, in a 1974 TV drama called Fall of Eagles [imdb], which depicted the fall of three European dynasties at the turn of the 20th century. And by strange coincidence, today is Lenin's anniversary.
