Lunchtime enlightenment

Usually I ignore my co-workers' conversations when I eat in the break room, since there's only so much babble about MySpace and Lily Allen that I can take. Every now and then, though, I eavesdrop and learn something valuable. Today, for instance, I found out that:

1. In California, employees are legally allowed one alcoholic beverage on their lunch breaks. In other words, my boss may frown when she sees me chugging that pina colada at La Fiesta Grande, but she can't fire me for it!

2. Adults are not required by law to wear bike helmets.

Somehow these laws seem linked and learning of their existence brightened an otherwise tedious lunch hour.

Who is Lily Allen?

That booze law is helpful to know!
