The San Jose Mercury News just ran a TV trivia bit that included such gems
as "did you know that Dr McCoy's medical instruments were really salt and 
pepper shakers?"  Now any Trekker knows that, but I didn't know that they 
originally asked Martin Landau to play Spock.  It makes sense, since I've
never really seen him show emotions, but aren't we lucky?  Who would direct
the movies?  Would girls have loved him so much?  Can you imagine Landau
zapped by the spoors and hanging from a tree, laughing like a human?

I just think it's as good as James Cann turning down the role of Superman
because he wouldn't be caught dead in those blue tights.
