I can do it with both hands. Live long and prosper, everyone!

I can, but with my left hand only, so in a way no i cannot, as the Vulcans do it with their right hand

Despite having p!sspoor fine finger dexterity (I can't even write cursive), I find the mid-separation quite easy with either hand...

All this time I had thought I was closer to a Klingon and not Vulcan. :scratch:

Off topic, but since we're on the subject of greetings from outer space, does anyone here remember the Orkan handshake?

Very similar separations.

It took some training at first for me to do it with both hands consistently, but yes, for a long time now.

I forced myself to stick my fingers between a bottle so that I can learn it. It was painful but successful

Totally forgot about him. Couldn't get into the show after the first two years.

Age? It's not on reruns much and it was a real niche show at the time. I had such a fixation on Robin Williams because his mind ran like mine did. He could just get it out and make people laugh. I try and creep people out....

The funny thing is Garry Marshall's other show still replays on Nick @ Nite, perhaps because his daughter was in it?

I think it's because Mork and Mindy was just a one trick pony. Penny Marshal is a really talented woman.
