That's a meme? I've never seen that photo before in my life and I'm pretty aware of most memes.

Just google 'tank of the lake, what is your wisdom' and you can catch up on a new meme genre

I think a very small number of people today are aware of Arthurian legend. I think I have heard the phrase "lady of the lake" before but never really knew any context around it until I just now searched the term. I would have guessed it was the name of a ship or something.
