§ Several people ask me why "Brian 4" on my Michigan and Arizona license plates? What does the four stand for? Does it stand for how many times I have been married? The number of times I was acquitted of various crimes? The number of illegitimate children I refuse to acknowledge? The number four is deeply rooted in mystery. The origins may never be revealed to regular humans.
Anyway, the four stood for the number of vehicles that I had when I bought my MI plate in 1992. Way back then, you had to mail an application for a personalized plate. I sent in a couple of suggestions. Brian 4 was my second or third choice; my first was KING B. Later on, website Brian 4.com was a school project during my undergraduate studies. For the record, here is the official Brian 10 list:
