Castro's Favorite Color

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.

Superbowl Commercials

All the Superbowl Commercials are on MySpace. My favorites were:

Budwiser with the Clydesdale training like Rocky
Bridgestone with the screaming animals. The followup with Alice Cooper and Richard Simmons was clever but didn't work.
Coca Cola Super Parade Balloons
Bud Light Cave Man Invents Wheel
FedEx's carrier pidgeons
