"GDKNOWS"

       Surprise license plate seen today:  GDKNOWS.

       My feeling is the owner of that plate is very proud of it and pleased to know he or she and no one else got it.

       Of course it's a phrase that can express frustration--"God and nobody else could possibly know that because I sure don't."  But it's also an expression of faith that if or when no one else does, God does know.

       The missing "O" is in keeping with long tradition from the Torah that God's name cannot be said, only "stand-ins" for it.  So English will often show as "G-d" to honor that.

       If a government-required identification can make food for thought and wonder while it's at it, something worthwhile has happened.
