Okay, according to last season IIRC, Grissom speaks Korean, at least some.  He speaks bad Spanish, we've seen that, but he could have just picked that up at many points in his life.  Korean is a little bit more esoteric for a white boy born in the Fifties. 

I want to know where he learned it, and why.  I can see him doing it for the heck of it--the man collects knowledge as a spinal reflex--but still, it doesn't seem to me to be something one would do accidentally.  Did he have a correspondence with a Korean entomologist?  Had a Korean girlfriend?  Just liked the sound of it?

The question is: are you planning to catch it, or are you taking evasive maneuvers...?

I think he learned it in Las Vegas...just after he moved there, he was exploring a public garden area and was captivated by some sort of bug that's not usually indiginous tot he area. He's startled by a voice that expresses the wonder he was feeling at the discovery. An older Korean woman is there. She tells him there is a legend about the insect they are admiring...she gives part in Korean (the names) and gives a translation and meanings, saying English is sometimes limited in its descriptiveness. Grissom agrees and they talk, going for tea...she's a retired entomologist who has been writing children's stories to help children of Korean heritage keep in touch with their culture. Over the course of time a friendship develops and Grissom finds himself learning the language...

What?! Just a thought/theory...

OH CRAP! I have to be at the bus in 4 minutes and I'm not even dressed!!

Okay, YOU should write that one! :D As soon as you get out of the rabbit suit, that is. *grin*

I have an idea, but I'm not sure it'll fit. I think I need to do research.
