It was pretty ugly.

8. Poot's Lunatic Pronouncements Remind Me Of This Scene

Kirk: Random sentences strung together.
McCoy: He looks drugged, Jim. Almost at a cataleptic state.

13. I did not know about his photography.

Truly amazing.

I have always preferred black and white images.The photos just draw you in. The impact, breathtaking. Goes straight to your soul.

White is the absence of color and black is made up of all colors.

14. When I saw him at a Creation Con (Scifi/Fantasy convention) in the Philly area back in 2003

on what was supposed to be his last convention tours with William Shatner, he spent much of the time discussing his photography, which was his real passion.

He also wrote poetry (and published them). There are a couple websites out there that have some of them including this - Leonard Nimoy Poetry, Photography, Quotations and Tweets

16. And child of Boston's West End

Nimoy grew up in a largely Jewish neighborhood next to where Boston Garden and Mass. General Hospital are called the West End. The neighborhood was leveled in the 60s as part of "urban renewal" and replaced with high rise apartments and office buildings.

Spock's live long and prosper gesture, with his hand outstretched and his middle and ring fingers parted was something that he'd seen a rabbi do at a synagogue in the West End when he was a child.
