On "Jeopardy!" last night the airline attendant whupped the linguist and the lawyer good -- hell, she destroyed them. A good win for a contestant is to hit about $20,000, and she won nearly $32,000. It was a good reminder that we shouldn't judge people by the kind of work they do; smart people can pop up anywhere.
The Final Jeopardy, by the way, was one of those that seemed too easy to me, but I guess I like that better than the ones I don't have a clue on. In the category 1970s films:
IN 2013 MARIO CUOMO SAID HE FINALLY SAW THIS FILM, WHICH HE HAD BOYCOTTED FOR PERSONAL REASONS, & CALLED IT “MAYBE…A MASTERPIECE”
"Personal reasons" should be a big clue.
The link is to a guy who analyzes Final Jeoprady betting. Some nerd, huh?
