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.

I have heard so many suggestions like this that I am not sure I believe anything anymore. Do not drink coffee, drink wine, drink bear but no more then 2 bottles per day, do not eat meat, eat more fish, eat grapefruit, avoid cheese... Eat more broccoli now?!... I wonder what my diet would be if I actually followed all the advice! :)
