M&D star trek reference

[David Gentle]

This could easily have been discussed before but I couldn't find mention of it in the archives.
(Chap 50 pg. 485)
'The rabbi of prague...whose private Salute they now greet Dixon with, the Fingers spread two and
two, and the Thumb held away from them likewise, said to represent the Hebrew letter *Shin* and to
signify, "Live long and prosper."'

That, as I'm sure you all know, is the Vulcan salute from Startrek.
