Captain Oblivious :: Saw an interesting license plate today

I was driving to work and a reasonably nice, but by no means extravagant or fancy, car pulled in front of me. The license plate read: GMAIL. Now, I'm a pretty big fan of Gmail, but I would never ever consider getting it on a vanity plate (I'm quite happy with my 3x Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots plate, featuring the numbers of Steve Grogan and Bruce Armstrong [yes, stalkers, now you can find me... oooh, what shall I do...]). So I thought, maybe it's the person who built the code for Gmail. But leaving aside the fact that it's a Massachusetts plate, if this guy wrote Gmail he can totally afford a nicer rider.

I'm just sayin', is all...

1 - Hunt that bastard down and make him get a big fat BMW or a Hummer- not the H2 or wimp H3 either.

The nerve...

That is weird though. The thought that you probably keep having is, "don't tell me this dork is just that frikin excited about his new e-mail account?"
