	In "The Enterprise Incident", Spock killed Capt. Kirk....
	"He took me by surprise.  I instinctively used..." (dramatic pause)
	"The Vulcan Death Grip."  Anyone know if this fake means of murder
	was supposed to be based on something real?  Is there really a
	Vulcan Death Grip or is this typical Enterprise dissembling?

It was stated later in that episode that there was "no such thing"
as the "Vulcan Death Grip".  I believe that Nurse Chapel says this while
reviving Kirk in the sickbay (after which he undergoes spock-ears surgery).
