Adieu to Ken Jennings
IllogicalStudent writes "The Toronto Star is reporting that the episode of Jeopardy where Ken Jennings (a.k.a. 'The Jeopardy Guy') finally loses aired this evening. It came down to a 2-person finish (3rd had -2600 at the end of Double Jeopardy, and was eliminated) between Ken and opponent Nancy Zerg, with the final category being Business & Industry. Ken answered 'Fed Ex' to the question 'Most of this firm's 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year,' when the correct answer was 'H&R Block.' Ken finished his record-streak with just over $2.5 Million."

Message: hi, I was just curious... my aunt went on a car trip last week... she
has a 2004 Cadilac with onstar. anyways, she says she came up to a wreck scene
on the side of the road. a car was upside down in a ditch full of water, no
other cars were there, so it had just happened. my aunt says she called the onstar
people and the onstar person said that there was a person thrown out of the
wrecked car, and said they were lying in the ditch on the other side of the road,
so my aunt looked and there they were! then later, when a rescuer was trying to
get a baby seat out of the wrecked car in the ditch, he fell over backwards in
the water. my aunt says the onstar person asked who was that that just fell
down? my question is can onstar really see what's happenenig like this? can yall
look in on a crash scene somehow and see what's there? thank you -Lisa

Thats really funny. Next time I start my own company (not that I have done it many times before) I am going to beg u (I might have payed u but since its a startup I wont have too much money , besides if u pay people for stuff like this they come up with stuff like "Where do you want to go today") for a punch line like that.
