Me, my dad, and Alex Trebek

What's on your TiVo right now? Lost? The Office? Well, apparently I'm smarter than you, or will be soon, because lately me and my dad have been watching....



like all the time. I totally love it!

First of all, let me just say my dad is about the smartest person in the whole world. No joke. He is like play-at-home-jeopardy-champion-of-all-time! He'd be in the ToC for sure. But here's the other thing: I'm actually pretty good! You never really know how much knowledge (or lack thereof) you have up there until it's tested. There's nothing better than saying, "Oh! I just learned that in [insert class you used thought you retained nothing from here]!"

So, if you think you're smart, watch Jeopardy! First it will show you what an idiot you are. And then you'll learn all sorts of crazy stuff. Did you know Egypt and Ethiopia were two of the four free African countries before 1945? Both starting with the letter 'E'. Now you do. Thanks, Alex.
