Spot on, sir. Spot on.

From the "This is the HEADLINE ARTICLE on AOL news???" category:

Jeopardy Champ Ken Jennings Blasts Show


It turns out Ken Jennings, the guy who won 74 straight games of Jeopardy! (and $2.5 million) recently lambasted the show and host Alex Trebek on his blog. Best of all, he claimed that Trebek is actually a robot:

:: "Nobody knows he died in that fiery truck crash a few years back and was immediately replaced with the Trebektron 4000 (I see your engineers still can't get the mustache right, by the way)."

... Jennings later posted an "apology" for his previous statement:

:: "We regret the insinuation that Mr. Alex Trebek is a robot, and has been since 2004. Mr. Trebek's robotic frame does still contain some organic parts, many harvested from patriotic Canadian schoolchildren, so this technically makes him a `cyborg,' not a `robot."'

Take THAT, Trebek! A human nerd just called you a ROBOTIC nerd! Oh, it's on now!

Actually, Jennings' blog entry is hilarious. Check it out here, and scroll down to the entry called "Dear Jeopardy!" You will be glad you did.

I was actually readin' about this at work earlier today (instead of, you know, working). I honestly had no idea that Mormons could be legitimately funny. I just assumed they sat around all day trying to think up ways to make their religion sound less ridiculous...Which, come to think of it, is pretty funny in itself.
