Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
It's an American quiz show, and the current champion has won $325,000 in the last 6 days. That's about twice what most winners make. He"s a professional sports gambler in addition to knowing a lot.
He's going to do it again. (just won another $89,000+!). This guy is changing the game. The host, Alec Trebek, is Canadian (but no doubt USC now).

Runaways .... his inclination to do a true daily double has him leaving the other two contestants in the dust. He will bet all of say $25,000 and double it to $50,000. Its exciting to watch just to see if just once will he do a true daily double and give the wrong question.

Yes.in the first half of the game when he has time to recoup it if he's wrong; in double jeopardy or final jeopardy I haven't seen him make a bet that would lose it for him. Yesterday I noticed he didn't ring in on a bunch of questions that I didn't consider that hard, so he isn't infallible, but so far he's been walking over every other contestant that I've seen.

Almost time for Jeopardy!
When I heard they'd discovered a cure for dyslexia, it was like music to my arse.
Re: Jeopardy - I got a few big money ones they didn't... but no payday.
