Grok? Sorry, I just pictured cavemen...or aliens....but that is another thread.
------------------------------------------------
Whoa, I just learned that is actually a word. I found this while looking for a pic of a caveman named Grok (which I found BTW). It means (from Wikipedia):
To grok (pronounced /ˈɡrɒk/) is to share the same reality or line of thinking with another physical or conceptual entity. Author Robert A. Heinlein coined the term in his best-selling 1961 book Stranger in a Strange Land. In Heinlein's view of quantum theory, grokking is the intermingling of intelligence that necessarily affects both the observer and the observed.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines grok as "to understand intuitively or by empathy; to establish rapport with" and "to empathize or communicate sympathetically (with); also, to experience enjoyment." Other forms of the word include "groks" (present third person singular), "grokked" (past participle) and "grokking" (present participle).
Thanks Zug! I plan to use this word often. It's a funny word and will confuse or amuse.

Reason: Added definition for Grok.
Jehovah's Witnesses also give out free literature. One piece is the Watchtower. Usually they just knock on your door and have children in tow so you will be nice to them. This stuff is really interesting reading. If you are not an atheist when you begin reading this stuff, you will be one when you are done
I'm actually pretty damn proud of my collection of Jehovah's Witness/wandering religious peoples literature. I have lots of bibles, books, pamphlets, pictures of people burning in hell, books that tell me I'm a bad person etc etc all given to me by those wonderful people.
Of course, my dog ate part of the bible last time, so we may need a new one....
You and your dog need to repent. Invite a 'witness' over for lunch and feed them some nice, dog food
