Ken Jennings Trivia Almanac, featuring 8,888 trivia questions

Ken Jennings is a trivia master.

He’s the 2nd greatest earnings champion in JEOPARDY! history, but has won more overall game show earnings than any other contestant. He has a few books, of course – he even has his own CAN YOU BEAT KEN board game. He even won GRAND SLAM, the trivia contest that pitted all the top game show contestants against each other to see who truly was the best.

In interviews, Ken has said that nobody can really know it all, and there were a number of Jeopardy! questions that he simply guessed the answers to. Granted, they were highly educated guesses – but they were guesses nonetheless.

Stuffed Grover with Monster at the End of this Book book
Stuffed Grover with “Monster at the End of this Book” book

Some things do not need any further explanation, beyond the fact that Sesame Street is awesome.

After watching this, however, it does appear that Grover is looking a little matted and mangy. He might want to have that checked out.

Who wrote the first Chain Letter?

Chain Letter

One thing the Internet makes obsolete that today’s kids will never have the joy to experience is the CHAIN LETTER.

Getting that letter in the mail from a possible stranger, making 3… or 5… or 10 copies, sending the money to the person at the top of the list (while taking their name off) and adding your name to the bottom of the list before sending it out to all your friends…

Yup – CHAIN LETTERS MAY BE ILLEGAL (or not, depending on what you’re sending along), but the Post Office was making their money on each and every stamped envelope that found its way into the postal system.

Today, everybody forwards junk emails around to their entire address book. Sending chain mail has been relegated to a single click and push – all the fun and mystery has been taken out of them… all experiences that today’s youth will most likely never get to have.

You know that PERFECTLY TIMED SPORTS PHOTO that been going around the Internet this last week?

You know the one – it’s where Tiger Woods hit an errant chip shot at this year’s RYDER CUP that went directly at a photographer’s camera?

Well, we’re not here to talk about Tiger or his golf skill… we’re here to talk about THE CIGAR GUY. He’s the one that turned a phenomenal golf photo into an Internet sensation.

Mashed Up: Music, Technology, and the Rise of Configurable Culture

Web Watch has covered music mashups before, but here’s a slightly different take for your amusement: what happens when you SING THE LYRICS OF ONE SONG TO THE MELODY OF ANOTHER? That what ROB BRYDON and others do here on I’M SORRY I HAVEN’T A CLUE.

It’s almost the same as HOW TO WRITE THE PERFECT POP SONG, where you can use the same four chords to cover any number of different songs. Perhaps all you really need to do is take a listen:

We salute you, Mariano Martinez, for inventing the frozen margarita machine

Frozen Margarita Machine

Mariano Martinez.

When you hear his name, you should raise your salt-rimmed glass high in the air and sing his name proudly.

Why? Because without his ingenuity, we would not be sipping this frozen concoction that helps us hang on.
