In "The Enterprise Incident", Spock killed Capt. Kirk....
"He took me by surprise. I instinctively used..." (dramatic pause)
"The Vulcan Death Grip." Anyone know if this fake means of murder
was supposed to be based on something real? Is there really a
Vulcan Death Grip or is this typical Enterprise dissembling?
It was stated later in that episode that there was "no such thing"
as the "Vulcan Death Grip". I believe that Nurse Chapel says this while
reviving Kirk in the sickbay (after which he undergoes spock-ears surgery).
