Leonard Nimoy's bike security troubles

Leonard Nimoy is gone. Thats a bit of a downer. But heres a story of chains, and dobermans. Did he ever just pack a lunch and skip all that headache? Would have been logical...

Yep. Gonna miss the old pointy eared calculater. Especially in Paris.

Thanks for the video. Good to see the person not acting (well, maybe just a little bit of improv).

RIP Leonard, someone who did live long and prosper.

As I recall, his friend Bill Shatner would steal his bike and hang it from the rafters just to have a joke at his expense.

When Leonard found out who did it, he was not amused.

I know the feeling all too well. Good that they can joke about it, but the classmates who did that to me in college and made me late for work on more than a couple occasions(flat tires too) were not so humorous.
