>>What? Were you actually a contestant on Jeopardy?

>>A little over 20 years ago ( recorded in Sept '90 and broadcast around the end of October '90 - before they upped the stakes to 2000 tops on double jeopardy :-( But Trebek was already phoning it in. ) Won two, lost one. But it remains the only money I've ever made from an expensive college education.

>>They shoot five shows in a row, so the whole experience took about 4 hours.>

>I see that there are lots of videos posted of old Jeopardy shows, but none for Oct '90. That would have been fun to watch! =0)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
