The ability to do a Vulcan salute is genetic, and I always wonder what Trek would have looked like if Nimoy didn’t have the gene for it. Or if he hadn’t been Jewish, since peeking at the priestly blessing as a kid is what he said inspired it.

That one is probably too well known. Umm, do we all know about the officially licensed TOS novel Killing Time by Van Hise that had a reprint issued because it was too gay? (Kirk/Spock) I have one of the original versions around the house somewhere.

    I can do the salute with my left hand only. I'm Zefram with my right, no matter how much I practice. Right-handed, but left eye dominant, which only affects me when I'm shooting and when I want to do the fargin salute. Can any one else relate? Until this day....I was alone.
