I'm so outclassed that I can't even figure out why there are five members of the Klein Four.

Wow. I'm not even as nerdy as the fans - I only understand why they're laughing about half the time.

OK, I AM enough of a geek to try to figure it out.
Their name must come from the Klein Four Group (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_four_group), but I'm still not getting that joke. Is one of them supposed to be the identity element?

If I intensely want to throw rocks and beer bottles at all five members of the Klein Four, does that mean I have to give up my Nerd World membership card?

The Klein Four Group has 5 subgroups....
Does that make me a bit too much of a Geek?
