Live Long and Prosper

Several weeks ago a cow-orker of mine made the famous "Live long and prosper" hand sign invented by Leonard Nimoy for his Spock character on Star Trek. But he was unsure of whether the sign was made with the thumb extended or not.

Of course we quickly found the answer (thanks, Google), including pictures from the TV episode where it was first used.

Anyway, I thought of that hand sign immediately when I saw the cast they put on my younger son, 2 of 2.

In case you're curious, he wiped out on his scooter and when he put his hand out to break his fall, he broke his pinkie and ring fingers. The doctor said it was a Salter 2 fracture, and the orthopedist said that they had to be immobilized to give them a chance to heal properly. You can Google for Salter fractures if you are curious.

Live long and prosper,
Dad
