Reply to comment by malary1234 in TIL that Swiss Balloonist, Auguste Piccard, was the inspiration for both Professor Calculus, in the Tintin comics, and that Gene Roddenberry named Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek after him. by es_price
Indeed. Patrick sure has brought a lot of value to us both on and off screen.
Billions of blue blistering barnacles is a catch phrase for captain haddock, so I couldn't resist when the other redditor suggested you'd chosen captain haddock, over captain Picard
