I am trying to hail a cab from Fermilab. I pick up a phone, call the toll-free number for the taxi service. A very sweet sounding lady picks up, and asks for the address. I half-jokingly imagine the lady on the other side of the phone as an accent-trained Indian lady somewhere in Pune or Bangalore. "Fermilab", I say to her. "F-E-R-M-I-L-A-B as in Enrico Fermi, the scientist"?
