A hilarious Facebook group is getting pretty popular. It's called "Spock Your Fives", a Canadian based group that claims:
This group is to celebrate the Canadian cultural phenomenon, known to some as the "Spock five". The origins of this mysterious tradition are shrouded in secrecy, although it is widely believed to be totally awesome.
A regular Canadian five dollar bill has Canada's 7th Prime Minister, Wilfrid Laurier, on the back, just hanging out, portrait style. A Spock Five is funnier than your average five dollar bill, not because of the hockey game happening on the other side (see below) but because Laurier has turned into Spock from Star Trek.
Here are some of the funniest Spock Fives.
Just like the group, I'm not encouraging you to Spock your fives, but it is awesomely hilarious when it does happen. It's quite subversive too.
It's a little bit reminiscent of the Upright Citizens Brigade sketch on another subversion of currency; Ass Pennies.
