  <title>Jean-Luc Picard</title>
  <content>&lt;p&gt;Jean-Luc Picard is the fictional captain of the United Federation of Planets&amp;#8217; flagship, the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;USS&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise (&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NCC&lt;/span&gt;-1701D).  As anyone who is familiar with the series will readily admit, he is one of the coolest characters ever dreamed up.  He is like Sean Connery, Indiana Jones, Lex Luthor and King Solomon all rolled into one supremely ethical being.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forumammo.com&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.forumammo.com/cpg/albums/userpics/10062/thIKUURMzDp.gif&quot; /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because Picard is an infallible source of truth, justice and reason invoking him to prove a point immediately grants credence to your opinion.  Demonstrated below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm1.static.flickr.com/131/319047856_dbf1ef3e92.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An artist by the name of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/DarkMateria/_/The+Picard+Song&quot;&gt;DarkMateria&lt;/a&gt; has even gone so far as to create a song, entirely about the epicness that is Jean-Luc Picard&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/X6oUz1v17Uo&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/X6oUz1v17Uo&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my research I have come to the conclusion that the internet sees Picard as a kind of Father/arbitor figure, the use of Picard falls predominately in the category of rendering judgement&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the interwebs are mostly used for flaming and the ilk pics such as this are most common&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.imglols.com/wp-content/main/2009_04/picard-points-you-to-the-door.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://dragis.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/picard-facepalm.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;however, on the other hand, when a thread of suitable epicness needs to be recognized responses such as this are used&lt;/p&gt;
