Leonard Nimoy: Trivia
- Nimoy came up with the Vulcan neck pinch during the discussion of an early Star Trek episode where Spock was supposed to pistol-whip another character. He suggested the "pinch" as a illustration of Vulcan's mysterious powers.
- Nimoy also devised the Vulcan Salute consisting of a raised hand, palm forward with the fingers parted between the middle and ring finger. It is said to be based on a rabbinical blessing with both hands, thumb to thumb in this position, representing the Hebrew letter shin (ש). Nimoy also coined the accompanying spoken blessing, "Live long and prosper."
