You may not have caught on to this yet, but something quite out of the ordinary is happening on a daily basis (at least for a short while longer). On the game show Jeopardy they had a rule change at the beginning of the season to beef up the cash prizes offered. First, they doubled the usual cash prizes for each question, and then they changed the

Update on Jeopardy Guy

[aerocommander]

On Wednesday, June 23rd, Ken Jennings still continues to overpower his opponents at the quiz show "Jeopardy." The Monday game was pretty exciting for a while as his main competition gave him a good run for his money until Ken was able to hit a lucky Double Jeopardy question. He bet big, and moved way into the lead. I have never understood why most players, when given a DJ question, hardly bet anything at all They should be betting almost everything they have--after all they want to win, don't they?

Once again I got to feel a little superior because Ken missed Wednesday's Final Jeopardy question which had to do with Daniel Webster offering eulogies in 1826 for two great Americans. The answer, which I knew, was "Thomas Jefferson and John Adams," who both died on July 4th, 1826 within hours of each other. Imagine the odds of two Presidents dying on the 50th Anniversary of the Birthdate of the U.S. Ken thought it was Lewis and Clark. He's good, but not that good. I still love to watch him play because he is so dominating at the game. By the time he gets to the Final Jeopardy question, he is so far ahead of the others, that he has automatically won the game (unless he does something stupid like Cliff Claven did). My wife is ready for him to get trounced. She is bored with him winning all the time now. Me, I love it. Ken is over $500,000, and he gets to keep playing until he loses, which looks like never to me.
