.....The researchers thought that since the color red is commonly associated with a sense of danger and error (think red traffic lights and teacher’s red pens) whereas green is associated with positivity and relaxation (think green traffic lights and nature), the merest suggestion of such colors might hinder or help creativity. They presented participants with a booklet containing some standard anagrams, writing the participant’s code number in the corner of each page in either red or green ink. They asked the participants to check that the number on each page was correct and then told them to work through the booklet. Remarkably, even though everyone saw the code numbers for just a few seconds, those who were exposed to the green ink solved about 30 percent more anagrams than those who saw the red ink. The evidence suggests that for creativity you are better off going green.

Wow, that's the second fascinating thing you've mentioned from this book!
I may have to look into finding a copy. Is it available as an ebook?

Throw one vote in there for #46 - I like the spare clean lines of the thing, makes it easily recognizable.

Though I really like "Legalize Shemp". Shemp always needed all the help he could get, as does the plant.
