RevolutionSF Newsblast provides the only nerdly news you really need to know. Today's sponsor: "The Death Song" from Discworld.

Discworld Guy Now A Knight

Terry Pratchett was awarded an Order of the British Empire prize, so now he's Sir Terry Pratchett. He used the word "flabbergasted" when talking about the honor, which is a double word score.

Robert Plant also got an honor, although allegations years ago that he made a woman "burn" and "sting" remain unconfirmed.

A slight correction: Terry Pratchett has had the Order of the British Empire for years -- it doesn't come with a "sir" prefix at that level, although he was allowed to put "OBE" after his name. No, this time he has been made a Knight Bachelor.
