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!

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

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

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.

Now, there's some poetic justice in this!
