Off Topic: Van Halen and Brown M&Ms - if it sounds too crazy to be true...

...then it probably is.

I was unfamiliar with the Van Halen story but it's an awesome example of sneakily checking to see if someone is going to do their job. I often wonder why job postings don't use similar (ie "Your resume must be entirely in Comic Sans") little tests to eliminate folks who don't read carefully.

Of course, I often don't read things carefully enough myself.

Bike post tomorrow, I just thought this was a neat anecdote.
