desk cleaning

still cleaning the desk. I discovered that magnetic poetry is a real pain in the neck to remove. Also clearing out the Quiz Bowl trophy part of my desk: seven trophies that we have, at least one that was lost from 2001 - 2002, and that's only in 3 years of Quiz Bowl. On a related note, someone needs to get on Jeopardy and kick the crap out of Ken Jennings. I'd do it, except that I'm leaving the country. I was watching the reruns from College Jeopardy last night and I realized that the Ivy League students have it especially tough - not only are students from Harvard and Yale dumber than posts just on average, but then they lose to places like USC and feel stupid too.

But then Alex Trebek pronounced the band R.E.O. Speedwagon as "rio speedwagon" (ie. not an acronym) last week. So I bet he feels pretty stupid too.

Comments:
Is Ken Jennings still on Jeopardy? I haven't watched TV in a month and he had been on Jeopardy for about a month when I left! Please Mr. Wang, forget Oxford and kick his ass. Or maybe we should get Raj or Doug or Ben to do it. Hehe.

Ken Jennings was on Jeopardy at the break between seasons: having won more than $1.5 million in 38-plus consecutive days on the show, he is now being asked to return at the beginning of next year. Reruns of Jeopardy until the fall.
 
mr wang,

you could seriously kick this guys butt. hes a GEEK. he is wicked smart but you could sooooo take him. and should boston fans either a) root for the red sox to win the division or b) forget the division and root for whoever is playing oakland/texas so they get the wild card???
