How to win at Jeopardy!

“SUCK IT, TREBEK” t-shirt

We’ve been on a bit of a Jeopardy! roll recently here at Web Watch, but that’s not going to stop us from throwing another bit of fun at our readers — mainly because we want to see you get onto the show… and once there, win.

While you may have to practice your buzzer techniques in the privacy of your own home, there’s nothing stopping you from spending months memorizing 3×5 index cards that cover the typical subjects — British royalty, geography, and state capitols.  That’s what Jeopardy! superstar Ken Jennings did, and look at how well it worked for him.

A new study of over 2000 vegans entitled VEGAN FROM THE INSIDE shows that veganism really isn’t as weird or awful as it might sound to those who don’t practice it or aren’t familiar with the diet.

Want to attract the ladies like the swinging monkeys do? Just pee on yourself. Seriously.

If you have difficulty attracting the ladies, maybe it’s time to take a clue from the animal world and do what they do.

Think about it – there is some truth to how people imitate the strutting, boasting, show of force or elaborate mating rituals that go on in the jungles and forests across the country by animals of all shapes and sizes.

So try not to be surprised if people start to imitate the Human Man’s closest relative, THE MONKEY, COVERS THEMSELVES WITH URINE TO ATTRACT A MATE.

One way to get hundreds of dollars of merchandise – absolutely free!

Absolutely Free!
Absolutely Free!

Tom Locke had a vision a few years ago.

He went and bought himself a roll of 100 stamps, costing him $39.

Then Tom said to himself, “why spend $39 on a roll of stamps if I’m not really going to get anything for it?”  He likened this purchase to walking into a casino and spending $39 on a slot machine or blackjack table.  Where’s the cost-benefit of spending that much money on stamps?

This year’s Jeopardy! online test starts February 8th, 2011

Prisoner of Trebekistan - a Decade of Jeopardy!
Prisoner of Trebekistan – A Decade of Jeopardy!

Many years ago, Web Watch had an opportunity to take the JEOPARDY! contestant test.

It wasn’t easy – 50 rapid-fire questions that were asked so quickly so as to not give you the opportunity to go back and correct answers that you thought you’d be able to answer later lest you lose track of the current questions being asked.

Needless to say, we’re sometimes not the best test takers under pressure.  We missed the cut to move to the next round by 2 wrong answers.

It happens. Maybe next time.

Which brings us to today’s post, where we talk about a jobs-related survey done by Rutgers University entitled The Shattered American Dream: Unemployed Workers Lose Ground, Hope, and Faith in their Futures.
