Birthday Wishes

Well, everyone should know what today is. Yes, yes, it's the Kiribati Independence Day, but that's not important right now. It is the birthday of a brilliant and very celebrated actor. He's starred in a movie trilogy, portrayed many great heroes, voice acts, commands a starship, and is one of hollywoods greatest actors. No it is not Harrison Ford. He doesn't fit the last criteria. Of course, it is Patrick Stewart.

His multitude of roles includes Charles Xavier, Deputy Director Bullock, King Goobot, Scrooge, Napoleon, Captain Ahab, and John. The role he's most famous for? Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

For interest's sake let's compare the character of Capt. Picard to Han Solo:

Picard: Commands the USS Enterprise :)
Solo : Commands the Millenium Falcon :(

Picard: Has approx. 500 women aboard :D
Solo : Has Chewy :(

Picard: Worf :)
Solo : Chewy :/

Picard: Has pet fish : /
Solo : Chewy? :
Picard: Assimilated by the Borg :}
Solo : Attacked by Ewoks :(

Picard: Has broken the Prime Directive multiple times and gets away with it :)
Solo : Didn't pay Jabba, and got frozen in carbonite :(

Picard: His ship can go past Warp 9 :)
Solo: His ship barely make Warp 1 :(

Solo: He loves all the ladies :/
Picard: All the ladies love him :D :D :D :D :D :D

So, truthful comparison time.

Captain Picard is to Arnold Schwarzenegger as Han Solo is to Richard Simmons.

And there you have it.
