It's somewhat well-known that throughout the South pacific, there are "radio stations" that do nothing but broadcast the real-time reading of number sequences, but no one seems to know just why. And these number sequences do not seem to be recordings...every station has a different voice, and the number sequences never repeat. So it would seem that they are being read in real time by natives employed at various islands.
Anyone know what the heck those things are? There's actually a 3-CD collection available of the number broadcasts.

PHOENIX, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- The legal dispute over an Arizona restaurant's
rule banning employees from
speaking Navajo on the job drew the participation Tuesday of a national
organization that advocates English
as the official language of the United States. The suit was the first
filed by the EEOC to involve a Native
American language.

[Libscoop: since neither employers nor employees should be coerced, the
employers can morally
require what they want, and the employees can shop for employment
uncoerced too. Meddling
DC-bureaucrats should be tomahawked at the door; after being told to
leave in Esperanto.]
