If you are familiar with popular culture at all you are familiar with
Star Trek. If you are familiar with Star Trek I am sure you
know all about Dr. Spock as played by Leonard Nimoy. If you
know Spock you know about his Vulcan hand gesture or greeting. If you hold
your right hand up facing the person you are greeting and spread your
fingers at the middle finger and the ring finger you will be officially
greeting people Vulcan style.
History of Mr. Spocks Vulcan
Greeting on Star Trek
--------------------------
--------------------------
I think the reason why anyone who is not a Trekkie even remembers this is because not everyone can do this. I know I cannot. My fingers just do not work that way. Do not get me wrong I am not disappointed in this. This is not such a big loss. I am more concerned about the fact that I cannot whistle.
For people who can perform this greeting it says very little about you. For people who can perform this greeting and actually do perform this greeting on a regular basis it says a great deal about you.
We can assume that at one point of your life you have received a swirly. You probably spend too much time watching television. More than likely you do not date much and the last girl you were with was on your computer. We all assume that Trekkies are at least somewhat intelligent or at the bare minimum can play a computer like a drum.
How many of you know the origins of the greeting? Actually probably a larger percentage of Trekkies know this answer than I care to think about.
The actual idea can be attributed to Leonard Nimoy. This gesture was actually used a few thousand years ago. Long before television, Star Trek, Atari game systems and only shortly after John McCain was born.
It is based on the Hebrew letter "chim" and was used by Hebrew priests as a special sign during religious ceremonies.
In my defense I happened on this little tidbit in doing some research for a manuscript. I found it mildly interesting so I decided to share it with you.
There you have it. "Live long and prosper."

Lipstick On A Pig
Unless you have been under a rock the last few days you have heard about the "lipstick on a pig" controversy.
I must admit when I first heard from a second hand source what Barak Obama had said I immediately thought that this was definitely an unfortunate choice of words.

My Name Is Dan And I Am Oprah-phobic
Thankfully I can speak about the return of Monday Night Football on the same day that I can speak about Oprah's new season beginning.
My wife is just as excited about the return of the latter as I am about the return of the former.

Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine Has GPS Navigation
Yes I am one of those parents who allows my children to watch cartoons at certain times of the day. Sometimes I feel like it is a better alternative for them than CNN or Fox News.
