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.

Perhaps it's just a fortunate accident... intelligent people are relatively rare in the population, as are sociopaths. Since there doesn't seem to be a correlation between the two, the overlapping set of intelligent sociopaths is very small.
