Yup, it turns out an episode of 'Batman' used "AWK!" in one of the fight
scenes.

A few people collaboratively solved this on IRC yesterday, and one
person e-mailed the solution privately. In every case consulting
Acme::MetaSyntactic::batman was required to untangle the final groups --
though BooK only showed up on IRC towards the end; it's possible he
would've got that one without help.

So that's 4 points for the groups, and 1 point for identifying the
connection in the 'Batman' group.

For the rest of the points we still need to state what the connections
are for t'other 3 groups.
