Seen on The Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/31 ... _knighted/]Terry Pratchett has been knighted for services to literature

Oh, and Robert Plant (frontman for Led Zepplen) has also been knighted.

Just thought you'd want to know...

Yaaayyyyy!

I haven't looked into it, but does modern knighthood come with armorial bearings? If so, imagine what his might look like! "Sable,
seme of stars, atop an astrochelonian proper four elephants...."

"Sable, seme of stars, atop an astrochelonian proper four elephants...."

I approve. VERY good news, from my viewpoint.

Though hearing about Terry Pratchett and Robert Plant getting knighted makes me think of Vimes opening for Lead Zeppelin, the new aereomusicale group taking the Discworld by storm..

At the end of the 'lead baloon' ep of Mythbusters I recall Adam wondering if they could make a 'lead zeppelin'. 8)
