"DXDP=H/2"

Whatchya think? Too inaccurate?

Unfortunately the NC dmv doesn't allow for sigma, subscripts, inequalities, or crossed-through H's. =(

Without that description I had no idea what it was supposed to mean.
 
Huh?? You'll cause accidents among the geek crowd.
 
Lol. I thought it was a big stretch... Maybe I'll spring for
"EMC2 4 $"

Thanks for the feedback!
