Duckie, I will give a GMail invite to the one who guesses closest.. What do ya think?
i cant wait until he loses. im tired of seeing that dufus.
its kinda dumb to think that, he would never get away with something like that
maybe if it was to small to see it is possible to get away with cheating
i a sure he was already checked for all that stuff by now, he is just a smart guy, probally was the geek in his grade in school.....one thing is for sure, everyne will remember Ken Jennings
he prob put it in after they were done and when they weren't looking or he could of put it in, in the bathroom after the checked him
He doesn't have to know everything just more then the 2 stooges next to him.
I can usually answer more general trivia questions then most people I personal know, does that make me smart ..nope just more knowledgeable then them. so if Ken is going against people who don't know as much of course he's gonna win
It's also still unconfirmed that I am a millionaire. :P >:D
so far, from what they say, he did make 75 games, but now if he lost, won't be said, guess we will have to wait and see, i thought i'd say it now since its all over the papers and the news, which I am somewhat unhappy that they went and spoiled it..........
Ken is a genius! . . . . .or is he? Never mind. He is making a Jeopardy record. ;D
