#2 Read this story in the local Knoxville News Sentinel yesterday. ORNL has a lot of Yankees and foreigners in their midst. As they say "Ya'll come back sometime."

#5 Had to look up "ORNL."

#6 I'm not sure which is worse: that ORNL tried to do this, or that somebody in charge thought it was a good idea.
