TREK NOTES:
DAX:  Worf, I don't think you can tell someone's going to kill you
           by looking at them. 
WORF: A Klingon can. It is an instinct. The ability to look someone
           in the eyes and see the decision to kill. An instinct I no
           longer have. Kurn was right. I have lived with humans so long
           I no longer think like a Klingon.  [DS9 “The Sons of Mogh”]
