Over in the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, they take their ergonomics seriously. So seriously, in fact, that they are willing to bring in the experts to remind people just how important is correct monitor-height: Spock and Uhura.
This poster was hung in the lab bathroom, contrasting Spock's spine-bending setup with Uhura's comfortable, laid-back layout. She even pre-empted the modern advice which eschews sitting bolt-upright in favor of a more relaxed posture.
You have to love this poster. It's certainly going to catch the attention of even the most notice-weary geek. It brings up an old question for me, though. Why on Earth would Spock use such a weird porthole to stare into instead of a regular screen? I always thought he was surreptitiously viewing some highly logical Vulcan porn, but that's highly improbable.
