I'm surprised it's taken this long to see a thread about this. If you don't watch Jeopardy, you should. This guy has won over $1 million on the show. They changed the rules this year, you used to only be able to win 5 shows and then you're done (well, you go to the Tournament of Champions maybe). But this year there's no limit to the number of shows you can win, and this guy is unstoppable! He wins like $30K a show..

I saw a news report on him recently and then watched a show soon after. Agreed on his amazingness at the game . . . Hey, who knows, maybe our IRC trivia champs will become the next Ken Jennings ^_~.

(P.S. If anyone would like to know how to use IRC trivia and join your favourite Warboards members in some awesome relay chat, contact me, or check out the thread at the top of general forums on how to use IRC ^_^).

I haven't been watching Jeopardy, but I have heard a lot about this guy. A million is a lot, but he could have made it in a couple of hours at most on Who Wants to be a Millionaire instead of in a month on Jeopardy.

That may be the most intelligent thing I've ever read from you...

Does that make everything I say stupid, or that just profound?

Carnage: Both.

Werewolf: Manners! >.<

Carnage: Uh, yeah, I mean it makes it profound. >>
