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.

Perseid Meteors Sunday Night
Bad Astronomy Blog lists 12 things you need to watch the Perseid meteors Sunday night. It's actually easy, go out and look. It's a new moon so there won't be light from the moon to get in the way. Go out late at night, stare up at the sky and you'll probably see some. Look east towards Perseus but a broad view of the sky is helpful. Sit on a reclining chair or blanket for comfort. Saturday night and Monday night might be good too. The BBC has some more.
