Speaking of which, Heinlein would have loved this:

I grok that
One of the best words ever invented* - IMO -thank you Heinlein.
I think it was suggested by the poems of Piet Hein.
Piet Hein (16 December 1905 - 17 April 1996) was a Danish
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_people> scientist, mathematician,
inventor, designer, author, and poet, often writing under the Old Norse
pseudonym "Kumbel" meaning "tombstone
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_stone> ". His short poems, known as gruks
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grook> or grooks (Danish: gruk), first
started to appear in the daily newspaper "Politiken
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politiken> " shortly after the Nazi occupation
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Denmark> in April 1940 under
the pseudonym "Kumbel Kumbell".[1]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet_Hein_%28scientist%29#cite_note-1>
The poems contained anti-nazi meanings which could only be grasped
intuitively by the Danish.
Interesting; always thought it originated from that book. So then is grok
steganography?
