Let's face it.
Someone is going to have to whack Ken Jennings.

Sure, it was cute when he got to two weeks. Hey, that's amazing. But now it's no longer cute. His sickening intelligence is taking the fun out of Jeopardy. Christ, even Alex looks bored.

I fear Utah may be developing Mormon supermen like Jennings to lord over the world of television game shows. :scared:

;):D

1. Oh, you're just jealous


He seems to be plenty smart alright. At least it is a show based on some degree of knowledge, not just dumb luck.

2. I was going to say
I really think he is a Latter Day Saint.

Oh wait, he is.

5. Well...
at least the Republicans aren't taking credit for him. Let's call a news show and tell them we have a tip that the guy is a Democrat and raising money for Kerry.

6. My mother and I were feeling quite smug
yesterday because we both knew the correct response to a Daily Double question that Ken missed. The answer was something like "The discovery of penicillin replaced the use of these drugs."

Ken said quinine...the answer was sulfa drugs.

Of course, it's probably the only one we've known that Ken missed.
