From the article: "They couldn't grok that the thing could be so small and dainty."
I can't "grok" that you would ever consider using that word seriously. What is it about some accidemic types that seem to think using Grok makes them sound more intelligent? Personally if someone uses that phrase their credibility goes to something like.001 in my book. It's from science fiction for goodness sake!
Makes me wonder if that was a prepared statement...
What's next? Well, I don't know if you know this or not but you can order Pizza Hut pizza in-game through EQ2 by typing/pizza. The menu comes up, your order and 30 minutes later you've got pizza at your door. And you never leave your chair. I guess with this then it seems you could sell some power sword and convert it right into Pizza.
