Newsthump posted a bittersweet fake news story:
An arrest warrant has been issued for Star Trek actor William Shatner, who is reported to have stolen the space shuttle Enterprise…
Shatner and his crew – reported to comprise Nichelle Nichols, George Takei and Walter Koenig – are understood to believe that Leonard Nimoy will have been reborn on a new, Edenic alien world as suggested in a 1984 documentary.

How odd… I was curious about whether Nimoy was older or younger than Shatner, As it happens, he was younger. By only FOUR DAYS. They were both born in March, 1931, 26th and 22nd, respectively. James Doohan was also born in March … but in 1920. DeForrest Kelley was also born in 1920 … but blows the pattern by picking January to make his entrance.
