COME ON YOU YANKS
|
So has anyone watched jeopardy in the past 3 weeks? I tuned in a few days ago only to see the smartest man alive.
His name is Ken Jennings...and he's a genius. Going into tonight's show (which airs at 7:30 on channel 7 for those in Warsaw with cable television), Ken has 16 straight wins with cash totaling $512,959. It's unbelievable watching this cockmaster play. He knows everything about everything. He started the show off yesterday by completely cleaning out the first 2 categories. He had like $7,000 before either of the other two contestants even buzzed in. He's a god among men. He is, of course, the current champion in Jeopardy earnings, nearly tripling the previous mark of $184,900...and he's still going. I suggest watching this man play. |

Make it 17 in a row with a total of $552,959.
He had a chance to break the all-time show record today without taking any risk at all of losing...because he was ahead by so much going into final jeopardy. Also, the category was 1970's movies...and, coincidentally enough, yesterday's player spotlight outlined his obsession & knowledge of films...even told of an internet site he has which lists his all-time 2,000 favorite films. He only wagered a fraction of the cash he had to play with, though, showing much self-restraint. He's a pimp. Probably well hung too...though I can't be sure. |

Only one way to find out.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

I watched a little bit of Jeopardy today myself. I flipped through the channels and saw this guy whom you so fondly spoke of and decided to watch him in action. He was unbelievable! He knew Abraham Lincoln's secretary of state was! I couldn't believe it. I'll never know that much imformation in all my life. I guess it's true...knowlege is power...or at least it's a crap load of cash.

I assumed you knew what the owner of Biomet makes...and assumed that it was $600,000/yr based on your initial comment on the situation.
After your last comment, I have no clue what your first comment was getting at. I think we should stop talking about this now. |

I was able to watch this Ken fellow last night. He really is quite the jeopardy stud. I think my favorite thing about Ken is how he writes his name though.

Of course he's still going. I believe he's the 22 day champion now...with something like $755,000. Not positive about those numbers...but they're close.
Yesterday, when there were but 3 categories left in double jeopardy, there was a bitch closing in on him fast. Ken hadn't brought his A game thus far...and had only $7,200. The bitch got a question right and actually took the lead (again, with ~3 categories (15 questions) left in double). Alex said it was the first time he could remember Ken not leading in double jeopardy. Anyway, in those last 3 categories, Ken retook the lead and ended up going into final jeopardy with ~17,000 while the bitch had ~7,000. He's a god. |

has a nice ring to it or and alternative name could be The Church of HAHA I"M SMARTER AND RICHER THAN YOU (im not sure if richer is a word but it worked in the title) on a side note i think only Ken and Bill Gates could attend the second church | |
I hope you enjoy living on top of the world, when you die knowing you lived your life on your knees.

whatever. churches like that already exist... "The Church of HAHA, I'm Smarter And Richer Than You" just isn't their official name.
