You guys are too much. I saw on the news that Steven Spielberg is also a knight of the British Empire. Ok, so all I need to do is make some good movies?

I just watched Patriot Games the other night. From what I can tell, you need to save some royal family from terrorists by risking your life. It also helps to take out a few terrorists.

How many prefixes could you add to your name? Sir Reverend Doctor boka. That would mean I'm respected, I'm worshipped, and I'm a genius.. Aw yeah...

If you like titles, you can't beat Idi Amin

Alhaji Field Marshal Dr Idi Amin Dada, VC (Victoria Cross), DSO (Distinguished Service Order), MC (Military Cross) President of Uganda

Actually, when you consider the number of criminals, traitors etc who have been knighted in the past, it ain't nothing to be proud of.

True, true. It's just too bad my ancestor's titles couldn't be "transferred" from one dynasty to another

Ever heard of the "Ming" Dynasty? My family had nothing to do with it
