  I would like to add some perspective to some of Fred's examples. I have
worked in the Nuc Power industry for several years. Barns from the side of a
BARN I believe is a proper interpretation. I think that the unit Curie is
related to the research that was done by Madame Curie wrt radioactivity.
  Another "funny" term is "SCRAM." This term came from the Fermi Lab in
Chicago(I think) during some of the original critical testing, and was the
term used to get the "Safety Control Rod Ax Man" to chop the ropes holding the
control rods up. I won't swear to the validity of this term, but it sure
sounds like a good description of how it all began. I learned this fact during
my Naval Career under Admiral Rickover.
