Can you do the Vulcan greeting?

posted in - Offbeat news, - Palmdoc |

We asked this question 2 years ago but in the light of the current fantabulous Star Trek XI, I thought I’d ask again.

Apparently some of us don’t have Vulcan ancestry and can’t perform the Vulcan salute. Heterozygotes might be able to perform it with one hand but not both. The astounding movie trivia you might not know is that the actor who played the young Spock, Zachary Quinto, had to have his fingers stuck together so that he could perform the Vulcan salute!

Chris Pine on the other hand obviously has no problems with this

Dif-tor heh smusma!
