Explanation of how I came to chose QUORK and be the only 5 so far. It's a misspelling of QUARK. Years ago I read The Quark and the Jaguar by Murray Gell-Man about his discovery of the quark. Years later I found myself at the airport in Puebla MX for a conference I needed to attend. In line for customs the guy in front of me turns around and introduces himself as Amir Aczel and asks if I am there for the conference. He then introduces me to the guy with him as Jerome Friedman who won a Nobel in physics for discovering the quark. First words out of my mouth to a Nobel prize winning physicist were "Didn't Murray Gell-Man discover the quark?" Oops. Turns out although Gell-Man did in fact hypothesize it's existence, Friedman used the largest particle accelerator in the world to observe it. I would give myself half credit but it turns out I still can't spell it.

Though nothing to do with "quarks" specifically, I have always enjoyed CBC's Quirks and Quarks.
I just looked up quork and it is the sound a raven makes. Surprised I did not know that, as I lived in the NWT for 30 years, where the raven is both revered and despised..lol
Quirks and Quarks is a great show, especially for a science minded kid like me. Back when I was a teen, I could pretty much listen to CBC radio from morning til night, with pauses for meals. Basic Black, Air Farce (later other comedy shows), The Radio Show, and the oh so atmospheric Parka Patrol.
If I was home on a weekday: Morningside with Peter Gzowski. I think that was when I was a bit younger, though.
