PZ Myers Becomes a Kentucky Colonel

August 11, 2009 by 7 Comments

After the Creation Museum trip, there was a surprise waiting for PZ Myers.

He was led to the front of the museum, just outside the gates, and presented with… his certification for being named an official Kentucky Colonel!

The award was presented by American Atheists legal director Edwin Kagin.

This is the video I was able to shoot:

    I don’t think so. Wikipedia (which took the place of the Bible) says that the governor of Kentucky bestows that honor. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_colonel )

    @ mikespeir: Watch the video again. The presenter specifically says at one point towards the end that the document is signed by the governor.

    What’s weird, Demetrius, is that I was specifically listening for that very thing. I missed it, anyway.

    Heh, that’s awesome. My father in law is also a Kentucky Colonel. Only, we have no idea how he got that way. lol He just received the certificate in the mail one day.

    He said it at about 2:30 of the video.
