[shrugs] The mind meld is a complex two-handed thing, usually.  I guess somebody could google Nimoy's handedness - but my money's still on right, and not because of the odds.

Right appears to be right.

As a good OG Trekker, I can do it easily with either hand, of course.

Did you have to work at it?  I was easily able to the first time I remember trying as a kid.  Others in my family, not so much.  Figure it was the piano lessons.

I had to work at it - those are muscles and neural pathways gentiles don't typically use, and I had to teach them how.  Left was tougher than right, of course, but the ability has stayed once gained.

Do you have to put both groups of two fingers on a different angle to spread them? Can't do it with my left hand. Surprisingly, since I'm predominantly left-handed.

[Buster's Uncle]

I did at first, as a kid.  Once the muscles were well-trained, I could skip that part.

It was rather like training my eyebrows to wiggle independently.

I can do the salute ambidextrously, always could. I attributed it to my many years of playing keyboard instruments.

Unfortunately, I'm not ambidextrous when it comes to writing.

One of my favorite things to do to freak people out is to write with both hands at the same time, 2 different things.

Oooh. Haven't tried that one.

‘Star Trek 3′ Sets July 8, 2016, Release Date

Paramount Pictures will release “Star Trek 3″ on July 8, 2016 — marking the 50-year anniversary of the television launch of the landmark science-fiction series.

“Star Trek 3″ is the first title to be dated for July 8, 2016. Steven Spielberg’s “The BFG” and Warner Bros.’ live-action “Tarzan” open a week earlier.

The TV series debuted on Sept. 8, 1966, on NBC and aired for three seasons.

Tuesday’s dating announcement came a day after Justin Lin signed on to direct the third installment in Paramount’s rebooted “Star Trek” franchise. The hiring of Lin came two weeks after Roberto Orci backed away from the directing gig.

Orci had been hired for the helming job earlier this year after J.J. Abrams had to exit the sequel due to his commitment to direct Disney’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Abrams directed the first two “Star Trek” reboots in 2009 and 2013.

David Ellison’s Skydance Prods. and Abrams’ Bad Robot are producing. Orci and Abrams are the producers. Patrick McKay and John D. Payne worked on the most recent draft of the script.

Lin directed the third, fourth, fifth and sixth installments of the “Fast and Furious” franchise.

Last year’s “Star Trek Into Darkness” grossed $467 million worldwide, including $229 million domestically.

Wow. Either he has aged, or was quite a bit brushed up before running his sickbay.

[Buster's Uncle]

It's been around 20 years and he wasn't fresh out of college then.  I recall when he played Dana Delaney's love interest on  China Beach in the late 80s and had hair.

He's just old.

what a waste of a post

[Unorthodox]

Possibly the best thing from that series.
