Three years ago the sitcom Big Bang Theory altered the classic game of rock-paper-scissors to include Spock. And by Spock, they do mean the pointy eared Vulcan from Star Trek. It caught on and soon graphics and explanations popped up on the internet. ThinkGeek even has a shirt about rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock.

Zachary Quinto, young Spock in the 2009 Star Trek reboot, had never heard of the game, but he was asked to play in a recent interview. Naturally, the whole thing was caught on video.

Watch Spock figure out rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock in the video after the break.

Ugh, Bruno Mars. I’ll say this though, Leonard Nimoy is fantastic in this video for the alternate version of The Lazy Song. Too bad this video doesn’t pop up every time the song plays—it would make Bruno Mars tolerable.

Check out the video after the break.

Back in January we first brought you news that Mr. Potato Head was due for a good mashing of Star Trek loaded with Captain Kirk, Kor, Spock and Uhura—and now the figures are available for pre-order.

The Potato Head figures come in packs of two and are expected to ship in August.

One of the first games we learn as kids is Rock, Paper, Scissors. I think it comes shortly after Candyland and Chutes and Ladders. The rules are ridiculously simple, it’s quick and it will settle arguments of any kind within just a few seconds. Although sometimes it does escalate into a best 2 out of 3 situation, but nothing good can come from following that route. Where does it end? At what point do you just accept that you have lost and move on? Let’s just stick with the premise that in a matter of seconds, any argument can be settled with this spiffy little game. And then came Sheldon.

From Fashionably Geek: Holy crap that is brilliant. When zipped, it’s just a hand on a hoodie. Unzip and it’s the Vulcan salute. Lie down on your side and it’s the Vulcan shocker.

What could be better than Leonard Nimoy creepily staring back at you as you sleep (your fantasy has come true!). I’m assuming other characters will be available in 5-foot wall sticker form, but for the time being they can be found in smaller peel and stick appliques from the Star Trek series (pictured after the break).
