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.

Cancer Resistant Mice
Researchers at wake Forest University report White Blood Cells From Cancer-resistant Mice Cure Cancers In Ordinary Mice. Apparently they found a mouse in 1999 that was cancer resistant. Amazingly this resistance is genetic and transferable to normal mice. Now they just have to figure out how it works and if it can be made to do so in humans.
