Leonard Nimoy is the only person who should do Vulcan salute - TODAY.com

[sofiab]

I can totally do the Vulcan salute!

it's so great that people appreciate Leonard. For me Spock is the most iconic sci-fi character.

More about the Vulcan Hand Greeting. I didn't know that it was Leonard's idea to incorporate as a part of his character's background!

Excerpt from the article:

When Spock started exploring the final frontier that is space with the rest of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew in 1966, his pointy ears and eyebrows signified he was another species. But a year passed on "Star Trek" before we got to see him in his element on his home planet of Vulcan, throwing up that famed hand gesture. The Vulcan salute was Spock actor Leonard Nimoy's idea and Nimoy's idea alone. The well-known gesture first appeared in the second-season premiere episode of "Star Trek" titled "Amok Time." In it, Spock returns to his home planet after having been away for a long time. "I suggested to the director there should be some Vulcan thing that Vulcans do when they greet — like humans shake hands or military people salute each other, Asian people bow to each other. We have rituals," Nimoy recalled during an extensive interview in 2000. He remembered throwing up his hand in the gesture rather quickly as an example of something to consider, "and the next thing you know it's in the script!" he recalled with a laugh, then acknowledged, "It caught on."

I know! It just adds more coolness to him and the character.

Have you heard Leonard's song? He's a decent singer.

What song? The only one I've heard is that Bilbo Baggins song.
