    Science Fiction Author Robert A. Heinlein wrote a book called "Stranger in a Strange Land" where it is important to properly 'grook'. It is sort of a cross between 'understanding', 'loving' and 'eating' and very important to Martians

  • Oh :) I looked it up and say it either means have empathy or to drink alcohol.... I think I have empathy but I don't think I can drink alcohol again for at least 4 or 6 days cos I'm not physically  well after last night.

    Martians don't drink alcohol. Becausecwater is at a premium on the arid planet, water is key to everything. To drink water is to understand and to become one with the object being considered. Martian love is deeper than Earthly love, Martian hatred is an emotion so black that the nearest Earthly equivalent is mild distaste by comparison.
