MANVERU 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Apparently only 50% of people are able to split the ring finger and middle finger. Are you one of them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIMIMELA 1 Posted January 5, 2006 I can easlily do it with both hands. I've been thinking and I've been trying it, and I tend to do it more with my left than my right. I'm right handed, but I can't do it as good as my left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mj 7 Posted January 7, 2006 Hmm.....very lopsided poll and responses! Perhaps we are all part Vulcan..... I can also do it easily and on both hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Reality 0 Posted January 8, 2006 I don't think 50% is an accurate figure at all. I think most people can do it, though, as portrayed in First Contact, it's a bit tricky the first couple times. But once you get it, you can do it no problem. Most of us, anyway. The ring finger split thing that most people can't do is completely different. Lay your hand palm down on a table. Either hand, doesn't matter which one. Lift your thumb. Lift your pointer. Your middle finger. Your pinky. See how high you can lift them? How unrestricted? Now try the ring finger. Doesn't go very far does it? And if you keep trying, your middle finger might come up. With the middle finger up, the ring finger can go as high as any of them. With both ring and middle fingers up, try lowering just the middle finger. Not so easy, is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MANVERU 0 Posted January 8, 2006 i guess this is an unfair poll, since this is a Trek site, I'd say that nearly all of its members have mastered it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoveMalePecs1 0 Posted January 8, 2006 I've always been able to do the Vulcan Salute since I first saw the Classic TOS on CBC ("reruns")in the mid 70's (and on Both hands as well). Vulcan Salute in a few TOS eps and ST:TMP ST:TSFS-ST:TVH-ST:TNG-ST:DS9-ST:Voyager-ST:Enterprise Eps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sorfiwien 0 Posted January 9, 2006 I actualy had to learn how do do it when I was young. I forced my fingers apart. Now it's easy... That's how I learned how to do it. My friend Luis taught me how to do it when I was 8 so I could join a club with him. I never did join though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen of Borg 2 Posted January 10, 2006 It just comes easy to some people without practice. My 17 year old brother isn't even a Star Trek fan and I asked him one time to do the salute and he did it easily with both hands in a second. Cruel fate, the non-Trek fan can do the salute and I can't except for one hand. :o I guess I have no Vulcan genes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
