The emotionless, highly logical Vulcan, Mr. Spock, on the original Star Trek television series had quotes that sometimes came off as more human than the other characters.

“Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.”

While hundreds of millions of people were captivated and enslaved by PCs, tablets and smartphones, Mr. Spock — portrayed by actor, director, poet and photographer, Leonard Nimoy — passed away on Friday, February 27th, 2015.

Facebook: "Screw you, internet. You started a debate about a stupid dress that was so illogical that you killed Spock..."  Commenter: "This can't be liked."
