The Knights Templar are an order of warrior-monks, the Shaolin of Western Civilization. The Order was formed by two Frenchmen (back when the French were willing to stand and fight) to secure the Holy Grail from the infidel hordes who had overrun the Holy Land. The Knights Templar were given the sacred duty of protecting the Holy Grail over the centuries until it could be bestowed upon The Chosen One, George W. Bush, as prophesied by the 12th century scribe Richard de Cheney.
