- KingHarvest00, on 02/20/2009, -0/+11I thought it was gonna say he died until I got to the 8th word.

- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -0/+8It used to be you had to best the enemy in battle; this proves the pen IS mightier than the sword.
- franklymister, on 02/20/2009, -0/+8Wow, if that upset you enough to reach for your idiot sack, imagine what kind of invectives you would have spewn if I'd said "Granny Ogg" or "Nanny Weatherwax."
- thelonelysouls, on 02/20/2009, -0/+8Digg needs a book section

- jon30041, on 02/20/2009, -0/+7Well, million to one chances cop up nine times out of ten.

Terry Pratchett is a genius. I loaned one of his book to this dried up bitter old bat I used to work with and it had her laughing out loud. I will be very sorry when there is no more Discworld books to come out. - JesusTeaseUs, on 02/20/2009, -0/+4They didn't make him a night, they made him a knight.
(reading '*****' books will help you with these little problems) - meerling, on 02/20/2009, -0/+4This has been known for months.
Guess they finally got around to the official ceremony.
As to his medical condition, he says he's still got several more books to do, so keep reading them. - sepelester, on 02/20/2009, -0/+3Dugg for the thumbnail of the royal mushroom hair
