It is a sad day in Jeopardy land, a sad day indeed. After 74 days and more than 2.5 million in winnings, Ken Jennings, the Stormin' Mormon, has lost.
With apologies to Ernest Lawrence Thayer:
The sneer is gone from Jenning's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate,
He pounds with cruel violence his clicker upon the plate;
And now Trebek knows the answer, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by what Jennings did not know.
Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and children play in the street,
But there is no joy in Utah-mighty Jennings has been beat.
