So gang, in an attempt to further test my intelligence, I've decided to take the preliminary Jeopardy! test this Wednesday.

Many have failed this test, including Doctors, Lawyers, and MENSA members. I have no idea if I'll pass, but as I am rapidly approaching 40, I have to give it a shot.

Hopefully there will be lots of questions on my favorite subjects, including:

The 70's
Kung Fu
Wushu Chik (easily my "hands on" favorite...get it? Hands On? :D)
Hip Hop
and Classic Chevys

Wish me luck!

What's the Jeopardy test?

You know, I'm really not sure what the test entails, Serpent. I think it's a standard adult aptitude test, Jeopardy! style. People who pass the test are invited to become contestants on the show.

As long as there aren't any math questions, I'm a shoe in to become a contestant. Hey, I didn't say I was perfect...:(

Oh right, I see. Jeopardy is a show? Like a gameshow?

It's a really hard game show. You have to be super smart to get on.

It is famous for how it is played. They give you the answers, you gotta tell them what the question is. They have it in categories. Say there is a martial arts movies category and the answer is "This martial arts star appeared in the opening scene with Bruce Lee's Enter The Dragon", what the contestant will say is hey "Who Is Sammo Hung?" and he/she will get the money.

So 3 people stand there, one person says "I'll take Wushu Chick for $500 Alex" and Alex says the answer "Style of Kung Fu she practices" and whoever rings in first and says "What is Shaolin?" gets the points.

Right. With you now. Sounds interesting, if a little bizarre.

Good luck, AT, hope you win a fortune.

Do you get that thing over there where there are serial game show contestants that repeatedly appear on all sort of shows and almost make living at it?

We get things like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and the host will say something like, "This is Bob. Bob won $250,000 in cash and prizes on Wheel Of Fortune in 1999 and over $50,000 in cash and prizes on Sale Of The Century last year! Can Bob answer his way tonight to One Million Dollars?! Let's see!"

Cue raptuorous audience applause and brainless drooling and head wobbling.

Do you get that?

No we don't get people who frequently appear on game shows here.

Next to Price is Right (which isnt really a show about intelligence but more of luck and skill), Jeopardy is probably the most popular U.S. Game show. I can't count how many times we've played games in grade school and classmates answered in the form of a question by accident.

Freaky.

I guess we only have 19 million people here. More chance of doubling up your appearances! ;)

If it's a math question and you don't know the answer, just say, "Who is Euler?!" (pronounced 'oiler')

Yeah, it does look that way. D@mned swiss and their messed up names.

It's pronounced 'oiler' and I live in Houston. I've met a few mathematicians who thought they were the first to see the connection.

As an Engineer, I might actually be able to say... ****s!

I always thought it was pronounced like the Norse snow god Uler.... Oh well

"Aye, not much with the ladies are you Trebeck?"

"And in 3rd place...Sean Connery."

"We meet again Trebeck. I noticed you didn't sit down during the break. What's wrong sweety? Did you have a date last night?"

-----------------------------

"What is it Mr Connery?"

"Knock knock"

"Sigh, who's there?"

"Me, the guy who slept with your mother last night."

------------------------------

"Mr Connery, who is the drummer for The Beatles?"

"Craven Moorehead."

"Who is Craving More Head?"

"Apparently you are Trebeck."

-------------------------------

"Lets see what Martha Stewart wrote. Absolutely nothing..."

"Alex I'm filthy rich. I don't need your chump change."

"But you're playing for charity..."

"...screw them."

" This is the sound a dog makes."
"Moo."
" That is incorrect. We would have accepted bow wow, bark, or ruff."
"ahhh, rough. Just the way your momma likes it trebeck."

I saw a few of those on SNL - I have never laughed so hard in my life.

There was one that Kazaa didn't have. Sean Connery (sic) revealed his final answer as "K." Alex (sic) says, "What is K? What kind of answer is K?" Sean reveals his answer to say "SucK it, Trebek!"

I DIDN'T PASS THE TEST!!!

Actually I don't think I did too badly. I only missed 10 questions or so, out of 50. I think they wanted 70%, and I really wish they had given me my test, so I could study for the next one...

...oh hell yeah, I'm going to take the test every year until I pass it, baby! But for now...can someone loan me a "Dunce Cap?" Anyone who studied at Temple Kung Fu should have plenty of them lying around :D
