Sir Terry Pratchett

[Aphos]

Terry Pratchett has gotten a present from the Queen.  She has knighted him!!!

Hopefully, the Royal Navy will not require the knight to hunt down pirates.

Way freakin cool man!

(and I agree, no pirate hunting!)

There were not many pirates in the Discworld books until now(one ship in Sourcery and the villain in Going Postal*)
Congratulations, Sir PTerry!
