While this one wasn’t on the Mental Floss list of geeky license plates I linked to earlier this week, the great thing about this plate is that it actually takes into account the vehicle model as well.

They hardly needed to put the name on the pot -just about everyone knows what they’ll be drinking from it. Link

Who knows? It might be the same restaurant where the cold drink dispensers are labeled with pictures as well.

It certainly looks delicious, but if it’s been out on the street for too long, I can’t imagine it smells all that great anymore.

These dorky comics by Adam McCauley are great for anyone who loves puns, particularly those that involve classic sci fi jokes. There are more at the link, including a few Star Wars ones as well.

Inspired by the collection posted last year on Best Week Ever (previously at Neatorama), the folks at Torontoist decided to scour Toronto and find local pun business names. They found (and photographed) more than 60! Link -Thanks, David Topping!
