Live long and prosper! Can you do the Vulcan salute, made famous by Mr. Leonard Nimoy on the original Star Trek television series, inspired by a Jewish blessing? Even after a decade of strengthening my hand muscles through playing guitar, I'm hopelessly unable to perform the Vulcan salute. How about you folks?
Everyone has varying degrees of control, and states of development, of certain muscles. It's kind of like how some people can wiggle their ears, or raise one eyebrow with complete independence of the other. Some folks just can't. For years my mother joked about how I can curl my tounge (as in making the left and right sides curl up and touch eachother) and make a weird clover like shape, yet she has no such control of her tounge. She was quite amused to find out that I cannot do the Vulcan salute, though she can.
i never knew people couldn't do this...strange. i can do it with both hands and both feet! ok, well maybe not my feet. btw HUGE original star trek fan here! got every episode of the original series on VHS!
Put your hands together and then use your other hand to separate them keep doing this and you will be able to finally do it
Yeah I know, I'm still kinda perplexed. I guess I just didn't realize that this one existed. I was never able to do the eyebrow thing, either. At least not very well. Also I was never able to bend my pinky without bending my ring finger, but I can do the ring without the pinky. But maybe that's more common.
