Sir Bill...Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order

  • Artigo

Via Reuters.

"Microsoft co-founder and chairman Bill Gates will be awarded an honorary knighthood by Britain's Queen Elizabeth Wednesday for his outstanding contribution to enterprise.

He will become a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, an honor that dates back to 1917, although monarchs have been creating knights for hundreds of years."

'Most Excellent'...love that.

This pic over at Channel 9 cracked me up:

    Stupid Yank, get the facts right before you post.

    Rule! This man needs to be more than just knighted. He is the savior of western civilization and the king of the war against the technological rebel armies(i.e. Linux, Perl, losers), and for those two things along he deserves this. It's a shame the U.S. doesn't have something similar.

    In the spirit of pointing out factual errors, I should point out I'm an ignorant Brit, not an ingorant Yank.
