PHOTO: Borussia Dortmund pay tribute to Leonard Nimoy

As Borussia Dortmund demonstrated Saturday, the death of Leonard Nimoy extends well beyond the science fiction community, and even touches the distant reaches of the footballing world.

Nimoy - known primarily for his role as Spock in various "Star Trek" iterations - passed away Friday at the age of 83, and Dortmund paid tribute to his legacy by unveiling a message that read "Celebrate! Long and prosper" following their 3-0 win over Schalke in the Revierderby.

Of course, the message should probably read "Live long and prosper," but it's the thought that counts. Right?
