! He was raised by Georg von Trapp!!!    

Odd synchronicity here:  Theodore Bikel who played Worf's adoptive father
created the role of Georg von Trapp on Broadway.  This gets even weirder,
when you add in the fact that Christopher Plummer (who people *think* was
Georg von Trapp since he played him in the film) was the villain of ST VI
which included Worf's grandfather....

This, of course explains how the song
                  _                 _
                o/                o/
        "yu, a sheep, a female sheep, bIm, a drop of golden sun..." 

made it to the empire.  (At least to me....)
