@hornacek — I never knew that — I just figured he was among those genetically predisposed to be able to do that. Even if I had a moment off camera to set my fingers correctly, they wouldn’t stay that way. I guess I make a more convincing Venom than Vulcan. My dad can do it, though. So can Marty McFly.
I remember growing up watching the original Star Trek in syndication, and they always seemed to air the behind-the-scenes episode hosted by Nimoy, where he described how he came up with the salute, and how he had trouble doing it, so his hands were always offscreen before he did it so he could mash his fingers together.
@hornacek — I just tried it, and I can! I can’t, however, do the Vulcan salute.
I can’t spread my fingers apart like that.
