Gypardy

I am still fuming over this stupid-IBM-no personality-rectangular-poor excuse for a real person


Watson

soundly trouncing my boyish hero

 Ken Jennings

in a special three day Jeopardy farce event.

As the clues were revealed on the fabulous blue screen, my heart beat like a jackrabbit chased by a coyote watching  Ken's formidable brain make his eyes light up with that 

"I know this" 

gleam.  But obviously Watson's steely computer fingers were programmed to have unfair clicker advantage because  time after time Alex would say, "Watson?" And the souless microchip would chant in his braggy automated voice

"What is Cincinnati?"


My only solace?
Ken beat the evil Brad



Did you know Ken received the Congressional Medal of Freedom for Being Smart?  Well neither did I but he should have.




Did you know that Ken's oldest daughter is named Trivianna?  Neither did I but isn't it a great idea?


Age progression of Ken winning Senior Tournament of Champions




U ken!!!
