RIP


BTW Gauge: Very fitting and accurate picture

Status: offline 		It is not often that I am moved by the death of a 'famous' person, but I am just so saddened by this. I know that he had a long life at least, but still. He looked damn good for his age, and I kind of expected him to live for ages yet to come.

'Star Trek' fans told to stop 'Spocking' Canadian $5 bill



Bank of Canada executives have urged Star Trek fans to stop a campaign to deface currency as a tribute to late actor Leonard Nimoy. A drive was launched in the aftermath of Nimoy’s death on Friday to ink the features of his most famous character, Star Trek’s Mr. Spock, on five dollar bills showing a portrait of Canada’s seventh prime minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Large numbers of the notes in circulation now show Laurier with Spock’s pointy ears, trademark haircut and eyebrows, a Star Trek badge and the character’s mantra “live long and prosper”. Bank of Canada spokeswoman, Josianne Menard, has confirmed the stunt is not illegal, but she urges Spock fans to stop.

I read this the other day, and took a look at the couple of fivers that I have in my purse. I have the new, plastic 5's that have a different portrait of Mr. Laurier-- not near as "Spockish" as the old ones, apparently.

Dang though, if the Spock ears and sideburns don't work on the old bills. Oh, I do love the Canadians...they can be patriotic as hell, yet still have a sense of humor.
