We have been watching this guy on "Jeopardy" who is something amazing. Usually, I'll at best have grudging admiration of the players, but this Ken Jennings character has blown us away every time. New on "Jeopardy" is the elimination of the 5-game limit; as long as the champion keeps winning, (s)he keeps coming back. So far, Ken has won 13 times in a row for about $440K. It's not just the money, though; the guy's breadth and depth of knowledge is simply astounding. You should watch "Jeopardy" this week if you can, although there's no guarantee how long he'll be on.
