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.

Dean Kamen Invents Cyborg Arm
Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway has created a prototype Cyborg Arm. He was commissioned by DARPA to create a better prosthetic arm for soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. " The arm can scratch a nose, pick up a pen, and perform other delicate actions. It weighs six pounds and can be covered with a mirror-image cast of the person's other arm." Grainy video here.
