    ...that's SIR Terry, buddy...

    So I understand that Terry Pratchett of Discworld fame has been knighted?

    He has indeed been knighted, for service to literature. I noticed it on the BBCs site this morning.

    Good on you, Sir Terry! I love his writing, and I think the honor is well-deserved.
