A man named Herman Cain once said, "Imagine there's no pizza." Apparently, Sir Patrick Stewart has spent the past 73 years living without it.

That is, until Wednesday, when the actor known for his role as Captain Jean Luc Picard in Star Trek ate a slice of extra cheesy New York-style pizza.

Thanks to pizza and Tumblr, we can all believe in Internet miracles.
