Knighted

Its seems Patrick Stewart is now SIR Patrick Stewart.

Stewart will be awarded a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth in Britain's New Year Honours List
Stewart, the 69-year-old actor who played Capt. Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, was honoured for his services to drama during his career that's spanned half a century.
"I am very proud to receive this honour," he told the London Telegraph. "Theatre is and has always been my great joy."
Stewart spent 16 years with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and this year garnered critical acclaim for his role in Waiting for Godot with Ian McKellen in London's West End.
In 2001, Stewart was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.

 A deserving recipient of the title i think.



Also, Knights can kick the asses of Ninjas, Pirates and Vikings... so there.
