I'm under Kukkiwon Style TKD... Can't remember my Grandmasters name(Our GwanJangNim), as we all call him GwanJangNim
The story is that 10th Dan is only posthumous making it slightly harder to get than a Medal of Honor (as you can live to tell the tale of getting a Medal of Honor). That being said, I don't know of any 10th Dans, so I don't know if the posthumous thing is true or not.

I heard that the 10th Dan was created in TKD solely to belittle General Choi Hong Hi (the founding Father for those not doing TKD) when we went to meet the President/dictator/prime-minister/whatever-he-calls-himself/god of North Korea (who promoted himself to 10th Dan)
I think that man is in Prison Now.

For one to pass any belt test, luck has nothing to do with it. (Per someone saying "Good luck on your belt test")

Congratulations, I knew you could do it. Now, go out and celebrate before you have to put your nose back to the grindstone and work, work, work for you next rank.
