[net.startrek] "Hi, Daddy"

In a previous article someone said that Leonard Nimoy "obviously"
was married and had a son because his son appeared in a blooper
real in which he said "Hi, Daddy."

I don't know Nimoy's actual marital status, but I do know that claim
is wrong. It is fairly well known that the young boy in the bloopers
who was wearing "spock ears" who said hi was not Nimoy's son. I can't
provide you with a reference to this information, but I have heard
this more than once. One of the things that made that scene funny
enough (in my opinion) to be put into the bloopers was that the boy
had no relationship to Nimoy; he only said daddy because he was
pretending for the moment to be Spock's son.
