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.

And what about other essential liquids, like milk, gasoline, and Sriracha? So, uh, we looked them up and put together this handy-dandy chart, perfectly designed for winning barroom bets and dinner-table arguments."
