'Live long and prosper' is an abbreviated version of a traditional Jewish religious blessing. It came to a wider audience in the Star Trek TV series, where it was used there by the character Mr. Spock (actor Leonard Nimoy) as the greeting of the Vulcan people.🖖
I didn't know it had older roots.
ReplyDelete...thanks for the back story!
ReplyDeleteNice find, Andy!
ReplyDeleteI can still see him holding up his hand and making that greeting.
ReplyDeleteI remember Star Trek but didn't watch it much.
ReplyDeleteAlways liked hearing Mr. Spock saying this. It is after all a logical greeting. Wonder who is growing a dandelion in a pot? And I also love ice cream. The shop in my post makes especially excellent, rich ice cream.
ReplyDeleteOnly watch Star Trek many years ago, so long ago that was.
ReplyDeleteHave never watched Dr Spock.... :(
ReplyDeleteNever knew that but also never to old to learn.
