    Carl,

    I know you'd only be guessing here, but would sunburn count?

    Dear Neil,

    No guess at all!

    Read the article and choose whether it's the Mandrill
    advantage or the angry-red-faced-fan effect.

    I plan to paint my lawnmower.

    And blue is red. New York Yankees: 26 championships.
    Articles such as that are planted by sheep shearers to get the

    requires to mount a search. Who buys those nose hair clippers out
    of magazine advertisements?

    Dear Phil,

    The Fury Roadmaster is mostly a sinister black.

    Its speed is improved by a pair of silver-bordered red
    sections on the top and down tubes, with miniature versions
    on the seat stays, plus a red Schwinn cyclocomputer.

    Since the Fury is noticeably slower than the red-framed
    Schwinn touring bike, the evidence that red increases speed
    becomes overwhelming.

    Dear Michael,

    The Yankees should have worn red last year. How could they
    be up three games in the Series and then lose four straight
    games to those--

    Aaargh!

    To add insult to injury, my sister flew in today from
    Boston.
