Do you wear an SFN T-shirt or otherwise promote the SFN? If so, take a photo and post it here. Here's what I did recently:

Nice plate.
Admittingly, this is a little off topic, but a good story and short, so what the hell. A friend of mine is a cop and he bought the license plate "atheist". He put it on his wife's car so he wouldn't drive it to work, but one day his car was in the shop and he had to drive his wife's car. Soon after, his fellow officers started acting weird toward him and bugging him about not believing in god. He expressed concerns to the chief and the chief told him, "Being an atheist is inconsistent with being a police officer." He ended up having to request a transfer because he could no longer trust his coworkers to protect him in dangerous situations. Didn't even happen in the Bible belt, but rather, Columbus Ohio. |

marf, if Bush Sr. actually made the comment about atheists not being citizens, then the cop's comment doesn't surprise me at all. Actually, it doesn't surprise me even if the Bush comment was fabricated. |

| Dave, My friends who run the Secular Student Alliance researched that Bush quote a few years ago because they wanted to use it on their website but only if it was true. It is true. He made the comment to a reporter on an airplane when he was the Vice President. Can't remmeber any more details about it, but you could probably research it pretty easy. |

Check with your state DMV (or whatever they call it in Virginia) first. In Illinois, a plate with letters only is a "vanity plate" and costs $94 extra. A plate with letters and numbers is a "personalized plate" and costs $47 extra. I have no idea why they charge double, but they do. |

I got my clock cleaned at a pistol match yesterday and I ain't happy about it -- *mutter, grumble*. But vengance shall be mine at the next one! 
Neat idea, that plate. When one of my vehicles comes up for registration renewal, I'll ask for SFN. It would cost $35.00 in NC.

I meant to answer this earlier, sorry.
No, Virginia only has one fee for personalizing a plate, no matter what you call it. Letters-only or letters-and-numbers both (doesn't matter) runs an extra $10 a year on top of the regular $31.50 fee. |

I'm an artist and I advertise SFN on the door to my studio. Here's the door:
And here's a close-up of my SFN advertisement (It's a hilarious exchange between John OAS and H. Humbert from a couple months ago. I figure, humor sells. ;-)

I put a link in the "Science Links" section of my site. I trimmed and re-sized the image at the top of the SFN site, my version is below:
My site doesn't exactly get a lot of traffic, since it's mostly for my own amusement and a place to test and mess around with web stuff. Ah well, it can't hurt right?
(BTW, Wow marf, I made someone's door, I'm, like, almost famous. Sure, I've made walls before, but who takes anything they read in bathrooms seriously?)  |
John's just this guy, you know. |

| Ricky, it says "Honey is not sweet for a donkey." (the word "sweet" is red on yellow hangee paper.) It's an Ethiopian proverb. |
