By the way, two of your team mates went through the windmill pic point about 2 min. before Vic and I did.

Well that website it jacked up. I add the picture to my cart and then attempt to check out but that's all she wrote. Gets stuck there.

Edit: Tried with an incognito window and it took.

While Leanord Nemoy's Spoke salute definately predates Mork and was always performed with thumb extended, I believe Robin Willam's Mork greatting was performed with both thumb extended as well as tight against forefinger. So, either may be correct.

Perhaps we need to consult Tunavic to find out which salute/greeting he was uttering while posing for the camera.

Sure! Either way, he's a SciFi Geek or Nerd. Take your pick.

The only problem I see with this is: So is Mrs. Fred.
