Lolcar

Bet you thought I just misspelled lolcat, eh? WRONG.


The licence plate game is more fun in Germany, because every city and halfway-decent-sized town has its own letter(s) and then they just throw some more letters in there for fun. Nuremberg's letter is, creatively, 'N'. Fürth, a few kilometres from Nuremberg, has FÜ and I'm just waiting for the day when I see FÜ CK 293. Apparently they're out there, so if I don't stumble across one soon I might have to get on my bike and track one down.

Fun fact: Although FÜ CK is apparently just fine, there are banned licence plate combinations, most of which have to do with the Nazis (shocker). NS (national socialism) is banned, as are SS, SA, HJ (Hitler Youth), KZ (concentration camp), HE IL, and IZ AN (Nazi backwards).

P.S. Please do stay tuned for German lolcats.
