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.

SCOTUS and the Death Penalty
Slate has a really interesting article called Death math which describes some of the Supreme Courts questions during Kansas v. Marsh. In Kansas cases, juries are asked to weigh aggravating factors vs mitigating factors in coming up with a death sentence. In a tie you die and that was at question. The Justices apparently have some strong opinions about this. It's a good read.
