Live Long and Prosper Day
March 26 · Level 4 · #1509 of 2238
Star Trek fans mark this day on the birthday of Leonard Nimoy, the actor who played Mr. Spock. The Vulcan greeting "Live long and prosper" has become a friendly wish shared far beyond the fandom.
How it is celebrated: fans make the Vulcan salute, rewatch favourite episodes and put on pointy ears. At the office, you can greet colleagues with the hand sign and the famous phrase.
Leonard Nimoy was born on 26 March 1932. He shaped the Vulcan salute himself, drawing on a priestly blessing gesture he remembered from the synagogue of his childhood.
