11 Spectacularly Nerdy License Plates
Published Thursday, January 6, 2011 at 11:00:00 AM
I recently had a friend tell me that I'm not nerdy enough anymore. Well that simply can't stand.
I prowled the Internet for nerdy license plates. There certainly are a lot of them out there -- not to mention millions of "Star Wars" related plates -- but these stood out to me the most.

- It's like a cheat sheet to figure out his time from zero to 60.
Although this really begs the question... what kind of acceleration can you get in a Subaru? (Even one this souped up.) - So... you're saying you got a 50 percent?
I really feel like going 800 VRBL or 800 MATH (or the new-fangled, way-less-popular 800 WRIT) would've been more effective. As it stands now, this guy might have a little trouble getting into the University of Phoenix. - The answer.
Getting a license plate that says "42" is nerdy. Getting a license plate in binary is geeky. Having the DMV make a typo such that your ones come out as the letter I is dorky. I believe this license plate just hit the elusive center of the nerd/geek/dork Venn diagram. - Google sure doesn't bat 1.000.
Nothing says "nerd cred" like a license plate with an obscure social networking site that no one in the U.S. uses. I guess the FACEBOK, TWITTER, MYSPACE, LINKDIN, LIVJRNL, FRNDSTR, BEBO, 4SQUARE, CLASMTS, ADULTFF and about 200-some others were already taken. - Math plate!
Coincidentally, to afford the car, you'd probably need a cosigner. - Nothing says "hip" like referencing a 15th century Romanian prince.
Vlad the Impala is a very clever name for a car. If I ever buy a Porsche, I'm going to get a license plate that says DE ROSSI. - Not all nerds are computer/math/science nerds.
Putting an MMMBOP license place in a Harry Potter frame says everything you need to know about this person going in. That's so Hufflepuff. - Blueberry.
Finding out that pi isn't edible is about as disappointing as learning you can't dance the rhombus.
Come on. That pun was good.
Don't you dare say it was derivative. - This license plate contains the UNIX command to wipe out a computer's file system.
I give the guy who got this license plate credit: It takes balls to be this into UNIX.
Get it? UNIX? Sounds like eunuchs? Anyone?
The best jokes are the ones you have to explain. - A bit redundant, don't you think.
For those not hip to hexadecimal color codes... and if you're not, for shame, they're really grand... when you're making a web site, "FFFFFF" is the color code for white. Fortunately he doesn't have this license plate in a frame that says "W/t". - We needed more "Simpsons" representation here.
My license plate is also BORT. Come along, Bort.

11 Points is a collection of exhaustively-researched, meticulously-written, theoretically-humorous 11-item lists, covering topics ranging from TV and movies to the Internet and video games to food and dating to politics and race relations.
It's all written by Sam Greenspan, a Midwest-born, classically-trained journalist who now tries to make a dollar out of 15 cents in Los Angeles. (It's hard to be legit and still pay the rent.)
