It's fun watching a real life HAL 9000.

I hate Ken Jennings. I hope he was a broken man after that match.

I used to watch Jeopardy all of the time. In fact I set up a version of it in my classroom. It is a fun teaching tool for straight recall provided there are enough questions to keep the interest of the students. That means tossing in quite a few pop culture questions. I found some of my weaker students were killers when it came to identifying characters on sitcoms.
