6. Is he a Democrat? We need someone with brains!

9. As to the general question...

... about funny business on Jeopardy, my son asked me the same question. I will not believe that there was. Everyone connected with the show including the network has too much to lose risking a federal indictment for fraud.

10. Ken Jennings. LIHOP? or MIHOP?

You decide.

:evilgrin:

11. Possibly LIHOP.

:)

Hey, 2 and a half million would be enough for me.

15. I say, MIHOP...

:tinfoilhat: or he was incredibly tired. Even *I*, guessed, H&R Block. And I know that Ken is waaaay smarter than me.

16. He's at IHOP. Spending that 2.5 Mill on pancakes.

12. How many times do I have to say this?

There is NO connection between Ken Jennings and Iraq. None. Zero. Nada.

13. I think it was crappy that he was even allowed on the show

I don't know how true it is but I have heard that he was/is a professional question writer for the College Bowl.

That would make him a guy that writes trivia questions for a living. Wouldn't that give him a bit of an unfair advantage going on a trivia-based game show?

14. Count me in on the bandwagon

That question was far too easy for him to miss, not to mention his wager was more than the difference between him and the lady who won.

After watching him play for months I got a sense of how he played the game and he was totally off plan tonight. I think his plan was to get 2.5 million and call it a day.
