Can I please be the first to mention that Obama might be going for a Diplomatic Victory(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_IV#Victory_conditions)? I mean seriously, relations take a -8 penalty if you nuke someone?

Cosmologists use the term 'dust' to refer collectively to non-relativistic matter in the early universe.

I believe he was referring to "Dust" as per the book series that starts with The Golden Compass (Northern Lights, here in Australia), which had a movie recently of the same name. In the book/movie, "Dust" is an invisible matter that can be photographed with a certain filter, the Dust comes from an interdimensional rift and is attracted to people, via their personal "daemons", which are much like external souls. If I'm wrong, forgive me, but I'm pretty sure original "Dust" poster was being sarcastic/funny. tl;dr - Read books, they good.
