THE STREAK
OK
I posted about this yesterday and I was ignored.
What's up with that?
Do we not value superior intelligence?

Do you know who KEN JENNINGS IS?

KEN JENNINGS has ripped off 25 wins in a row on Jeopardy.
He's won over $767,900 freakin dollars.

This guy is a machine.
I've seen him go on a run of eight, nine, ten questions in a row.

Even when he doesn't know the answer, you can see him calculating the odds before he throws down.

People, set the tape, do the Tivo thing.
The over and under on this guy is 38 plus.

It's hard to see anyone beating him.

I know I'm nuts.
I know greatness when I see it.

1. Shit, I thought this was a Ray Stevens thread
I've seen interviews with other winners who all swear that getting an answer right has more to do with clicking the button than knowing the answer.
