Lincoln, NE- Nebraska is changing its license plate - again. The plate 
featuring the state bird and state flower- the western meadowlark and 
goldenrod - is the actual winner of online voting.

The original results of voting were skewed by a Web site's prank. The 
site, collegehumor.com, encouraged people to vote for what it deemed to be 
the most boring design.

That design, which was black, white and red with the Nebraska.gov Web 
address, was announced as the winner Tuesday.

In a recent post, 'collegehumor.com' wrote, "Together we pranked the

The new plates go into use 2011.
