The following question was presented:
I've been watching all of the Star Trek series again and I'm on Deep Space 9 at this point. There's a character in it called Morn who never speaks (although there are many references to stories he's told). Morn is Quark's best customer in the bar and has his own stool. My question - is Morn a tribute to the TV show cheers, being a play on Norm?

Analysis:
It would seem that this in unconfirmed. The two minutes of research I've done reveal that there are several people out there that think Morn is a tribute to Norm Peterson from Cheers based on the fact that they have similar drinking habits, but I didn't find anything that unequivocally confirmed this. I suspect, however, that it's more than coincidence and it's likely to be a tribute.
