Recent vanity plates
Saw some cool vanity plates recently.
- XKCD 437 – Fittingly, this was an SUV (Original cartoon).
- G8RFAN – Fittingly again, Florida themed plates.
- R3 GLS – A minivan, probably referring to a soccer mom with 3 girls.
- 5JABI – Could be from more than one country, but the person’s mother tongue is one of top 10 spoken languages.
- MOCKBA – Person is from the city with the largest number of billionaires.

Irresponsible Media, and 99 other ways to lie
This from News 24 in South Africa
I wonder why the media never has stories like “Irrational delirium creates $2.5 trillion of fake value in stocks”. Perhaps the answer lies in the various kinds of advertising.
