A nice short one for you here. Morn, the now infamous acorn-come-testicle that propped up the bar in Quarks, was written entirely as a nod to Norm from Cheers. I mean, if I was George Wendt I'm not entirely sure how I'd feel about the similarities but, hey, there are worse things to have created in thine own image.

Oh, and small piece of Trek trivia I've somehow managed to assimilate in my time as a fan, Morn despite only being a recurring charachter, appears in more episodes of the show than series regular Jake Sisko.
