* According to a U. S. Department of Energy memo
reported by the Denver Post in December, the number of
workers it takes to change a light bulb, on a certain
vital safety system at the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons
plant, is 43, requiring 1,087.1 person-hours. [Denver
Post, Dec92]
* Randy Braverman mounted a challenge in August to the
California Department of Motor Vehicles's attempt to
take away his vanity license plate after the agency had
taken a second look at it. Braverman says his plate,
"UKFA UYA," is not Pig Latin but rather stands for
Unified Kids for a United Young America. [Sacramento
