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.

Horror Master Says See United 93
Entertainment Weekly has a regular column by Stephen King. Yes, that Stephen King. In this week's column he says go see United 93. I agree. But the reason I wrote this entry is because of this line by Mr. King: "We're hypocritical from belly to spine when it comes to film violence, you know? When I hear critics warning audiences that United 93 might upset them--in the same year that Eli Roth's ferocious and bloody Hostel topped the box office--I can only shake my head in amazement." (I'd include a link but EW doesn't seem to have it online yet, morons.) I couldn't agree more. He even thinks it's a shoo-in for a Best Picture Oscar nomination.
