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.

Here's a first person account of someone who accidently had some kind of bad item in his luggage at an airport and was stopped.

Unlike when being stopped for speeding, he basically had no constitutional protections. "We're supposed to have a government of laws, not of men."
