I've been neglecting my blog. Partly because Mark's "Nutcracker Sweets" had me overwhelmed for most of December, and then I caught a cold over Christmas.
Tonight, I took the online qualifying test for Jeopardy!
Then I got home in time to watch Jeopardy!, and was sadly disappointed at how bad today's contestants were. For the Final Jeopardy round, the topic was "The Titanic". The clue was, "A member of parliament said 'The survivors owe their lives to this man', an Italian"
All three missed it - 2 Galileo's, and oddly, 1 Fermi. How can anyone who saw the movie, or any of the PBS documentaries last year miss "Marconi", the inventor of the wireless telegraph.
Sigh. With players like tonight, if I ever get on the show, I plan to outshine Ken Jennings.
Alex - are you listening?
