[NSRCA-discussion] Plane Gaze 2

[Dave Lockhart]

Hmmm......here I am thinking a favored food of the Klingons was "Grok"
(bloodworms, always served wiggling) and "Grog" was akin to a deeper
understanding.

Yes, I do believe sufficient muddiness exists in this thread.

Weren't Piet Hein's ditties called "grooks"?   Like others, I thought "grok"
was Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land.

Piet Hein wrote 'groks'.  Most are amusing.  Example:

Experts have their expert fun
Ex Cathedra telling one
Another just how nothing
Can be done.
