| rdfs:comment | - A mechanical rice picker is a device that is used in agriculture on Earth, at least according to James T. Kirk, when trying to explain away Spock's ears to a police officer in 1930s New York. After stealing some clothes in order to fit in with the era, Kirk and Spock were apprehended by a police officer. Kirk told the officer that Spock was of Chinese descent, and got his head stuck in a rice picker as a child. A plastic surgeon was able to save Spock's life, but had the unfortunate side effect of pointed ears. (TOS episode: "The City on the Edge of Forever"; novel: Crucible: The Fire and the Rose)
- A mechanical rice picker was an agricultural device used on Earth for picking rice, or so James T. Kirk claimed to a 20th century police officer in an attempt to explain Spock's oddly shaped ears. In Kirk's improvisation, he told the police officer who caught Spock and him stealing clothes that the "obviously Chinese" Spock got his head stuck in such a device as a child. The local missionary had to use his plastic surgery skills to save Spock's life, with the unfortunate side effect of adding points to his ears. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever" )
