Spocking Canadians

I came across this phenomenon tonight on Twitter. Apparently, one of their past leaders who appears on their currency bares some facial resemblance to the late Leonard Nimoy's legendary Star Trek character Spock. In times past some geeky Canucks have taken to altering said leader's visage on the currency to appear like Spock. In the aftermath of Nimoy's death there has been a resurgence of this activity in tribute to Nimoy and his character. Read more about it HERE.

Spock's Pure Energy (R.I.P.)

I share this in memory of the late, great, Leonard Nimoy, who died yesterday and whose culturally iconic character Spock's voice is featured in a quirky chorus to this track by the 80's band Information Society.

There They Go Again

For as long as there has been Star Trek there has been ceaseless speculation even to the point of dogmatic assertion by a believing minority that the main characters of James Tiberius Kirk and Spock are more than mere fellow Starfleet officers, friends, and brothers-in-arms but rather much more to the tune of being brothers in each other's arms. Of course, this mostly comes from the gay community, but no matter, it is their reality if only in their own collective minds. In any case, as such topics often are to heterosexual males, this very idea is prone to be viewed in a most humorous light. This video below (which has been around a few years) is my favorite of all such fan-based innuendos having the best song ("Here We Go Again" by Neon Trees) and the best editing of all such. Enjoy!
