Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

NASA Loses Moon Landing Film
NASA says the original film depicting Neil Armstrong taking his 'giant leap for mankind' on the moon has been lost. Well perhaps not really lost, merely misplaced. Maybe it's next to the Ark of the Covenant.

The presumption here is that they really did land on the moon in the first place. The film was a forgery to begin with done in some Hollywood studio. Where are the stars? And haven't you seen the US flag wave in the wind? Losing the film is like the police shooting the "lone gunman" in some assassination...it ties up loose ends. Maybe the film will show up in a lost & found box with a lost mitten.
