Leonard Nimoy (March 26, 1931 - February 27, 2015) RIP

Although he was an accomplished actor in other venues, he will forever be known as Spock. Interesting!

If you wondered where the Vulcan salute came from, I bet you'll be surprised.

Charles,

I was surprised.

What a great story.

I'm saddened he's gone.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I too was saddened to hear of his passing this morning. I wish the best for his family.

I must be the geek. I did know that, but never had seen that interview with the in depth back story of it's origin. I just had heard that it was from synagogue as a child that he saw the Rabbi do it.

That was pretty cool. I also had no idea. It makes me wonder how many atheist and agnostic Trekies have been doing this for decades and also didn't know. :lol:
