'Star Trek' icon Leonard Nimoy dies at age 83

He posted lots of great pictures on Twitpic.

I can relate to a couple of them:
Young Spock as a floor mopper
He had an awesome looking boat

Oh never mind, they are all awesome.

I prefer Empire Spock to regular Spock:

This is actually a great idea by Canada. They are getting collectors to help fund Canada if they are removed from circulation and into collections. Admittedly it won't be a massive amount of funding, but it is almost guaranteed that 1/4 of these $5 notes will be collected and taken out of circulation.

That's pretty funny. This morning, I was thinking, before you even posted this, that Canada should be printing these on $100 & $50 banknotes, for exactly the same reason.

I once paid $250 for George Takei's autograph, and I'm not even a Trekkie.

Actually the $5 bill is probably most profitable. Would you keep a $100 bill as a souvenir? (Well, maybe you would as you paid $250 for an autograph) Most people wouldn't. Maybe $10. But $5, sure, most Trekkie fans are going to keep at least on $5 bill. And all those crazy Trekkies south of the border (US citizens) are going to find a way to buy one as well. Hence Canada will maximize its value by printing a low and affordable denomination over a larger note. (my speculation only).

The birth of a new verb: to spock.

I have done a little experimenting and I think our U.S. $5 spocks rather well (except for the beard):

Mirror Spock always looked cool. Somehow he can carry off the Lincoln beard too, which is just awesome.
