What is the Final Episode of Ken Jennings?

Jeopardy recently started up its new season with Ken Jennings getting his 39th win.

We've been following this mormon wonderboy since he started his little streak. He's been answering questions on jeopardy at superhuman pace.

Since Jeopardy is not a live show but a show taped in front of a live audience, there are ways to find out how many episodes Ken Jennings really won.

Through the use of the internet and some sleuthing, I was able to get this answer. If you'd like to know more, follow the link to read the extended entry. If you'd rather not spoil it, continue to watch Jeopardy and enjoy the ride.

Now I have some questions for Ken Jennings and Jeopardy:
Who is this new wonderboy that beat Ken Jennings? Are we going to see this genius go on for 100 episodes? Did he lose on final jeopardy? Now that sponsors know what the last episode is, are the prices of commercials going to go up? What's next for Ken Jennings?

We are fairly certain that Ken Jennings' last episode was his 75th game with around 2.5 million dollars.

We have newsday that is reporting this.
as well as a blog of someone who knows someone who went to the taping.

Ken is supposed to donate around 250,000 dollars to the mormon church i would guess then.

Results of Olympic Advertising

I posted earlier about the lack of advertising for the Olympics. Now the olympics are upon us and it seems like NBC is shoveling the events on us 24 hours a day, but I still don't know what to watch. Every now and then i'll stay and watch for a few minutes, but there isn't much staying power.

A few things I've noticed.

1. Where's the new technology? I haven't seen any new places where they've hidden cameras or any new camera angles we haven't seen before.

2. Where are the fans? Granted I don't expect the gymnastics to bring in packed crowds, but it seems like all the events have been hurting. (1st news source | 2nd news source)

3. Where are the always popular exhibition games? They should have brought in NASCAR or naked street luge.

I hate to say this, but anything short of a terrorist attack and this is going to be a boring and uneventful olympics.

Real Computer Security

If you're really worried about computer security, I would recommend not getting a Kensington Cable Lock.

Some "security company" is trying to sell a guide that shows how to get past one of those pesky locks in under a minute.

Well I'm all about getting the tip for free. After using this innovative knowledge tool called the internet, I was able to find out how using a paper clip and a pair of scissors you can defeat the kensington cable lock.

The Guide
1. Take a pair of scissors and put it into the rectangular hole on the lock.
2. Twist the scissors so that the lock starts moving to the open position,
3. Gently press in on each pin until you feel it lock in place.
4. Turn the lock all the way around
5. Take laptop
6. Leave thank you note.

Apparently Kensington's warranty will not cover your loss because there is no damage to the lock. if you're going to leave your laptop in the open, at least get a lock with an alarm with a motion sensor.

Hard Core Spelling Bee Video

Here's a link to the video of the trooper who passed out while spelling and then stood back up and continued at the National Spelling Bee.

What bothers me is how nobody reacts. A boy passes out on stage. Everyone gasps, but nobody bothers to check him out or help him back up. Then the boy very solemnly continues.

Who are these people?

Electronic voting that doesn't work

American Idol, the popularity contest that Sir Elton John has called racist May have another serious flaw: the voting system sucks. Each night the show is aired, there is a 2 hour window in which people are encouraged to phone in as often as possible to vote for their favorite vocalist. Apparently American Idol is losing votes. and not just a few, but millions of votes. Apparently, the existing pipes just can't handle the raging flow of calls from teenage schoolgirls.

Apparently it gets dirtier. There's money to be made. Now that you can bet on anything online, people are betting for who's going to be stay on and win, and then using technology to swing the vote. People are using autodialers and software to automatically place thousands of phone calls to swing the votes. In another scam, a company bought up phone numbers similar to the American Idol phone numbers and then had messages that told people to dial a 1-900 number to vote.

Oh I can't wait till the Presidential voting system goes electronic.

Teachers vs. Students : The Lawsuit

It had to come to this:

The battle between teachers and students was getting way too hot. (1 | 2 | 3)

A second grade teacher has filed a lawsuit against an 11 year old student. The suit alleges that A 90 pound 11 year old, Daniel Allen, was running at an "excessive rate of speed" and "negligently and carelessly" collided with Eileen Blau. Eileen is claiming severe and multiple injuries. So she's taking this elementary school student to court. I didn't think adults were allowed to sue minors, but then again it is jersey.

The battle continues

Chalk one up for the Teachers.

The Battle between students and teachers heats up. The story is light on details, but it seems like a 63 year old teacher took a picture of one of his students because she was so ugly. The 14 year old girl got upset, and started yelling profanities and hit the "office assist" button. The teacher then ordered two boys to throw the girl out the window. The boys later said they complied because they did not want to get in trouble for not following orders.

Judging by the age of this teacher, he was probably looking to retire soon. So why not leave with a bang?

Real life Badgers?

So you've seen the Badger dance done in Flash. I personally didn't get the badger dance, but I guess a lot of people found it funny.

Apparently, some people found it a little TOO entertaining. Being from Wisconsin, I immediately realized that these in fact weren't real badgers, but real people attempting to be cartoon representations of badgers. In what seems to be the saddest abuse of the video camera and the internet, here is a video link to a group of real nerds recreating the badger dance.

Students Turn the Tables

Looks like students are fighting back against their teachers. 12 year-old Jules Gabriel has not been allowed to return to class after he carried around a peanut butter cookie as a weapon.

The class tattle tale told the teacher that Jules was carrying a snack pack of Nutter Butter and telling other students he had "something dangerous." The teacher is highly allergic to peanuts.

At least the battles have become creative. Before it was rulers on the butt and fake bomb threats. Now we have duct taping and poisoning.

Boys and girls who cried wolf

Looks like it may not be Audrey Seiler's fault for lying to the police. She might be being influenced by Hollywood. Kevin Spacey alleged that he was beaten and mugged on the streets of London. Kevin Spacey fell for a scam where some boy came up to him and explained he needed to make a phone call to his mother. Spacey dialed the number, a woman picked up, he handed the phone over to the boy. The boy took off with the phone. Kevin Spacey tried to run after him, but tripped and bumped his head. He then went to a police station and tol d the police he was mugged. Kevin Spacey has since confessed citing Audrey as inspiration to us all.

Interview with a living legend

A short while back, we had a story about a young man. A young an named Kyle Melon. From Clinton, Wisconsin. Kyle wanted to grow up to be something big. So he decided to go to Aviation School in Florida at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. There Glenn Meleen went on to achieve national fame as a pilot. A pilot who was able to land on a truck. An old Pick-up truck driven by Oglesby. Read the world exclusive interview here on the site with the one and only local hero Glenn Meleen.



Local Hero Lands Plane on Old Man Driving Truck

An Interview with Glenn Meleen.


Hi glen, Thanks for doing this interview with bryantchoung.com. Describe in your own words what happened on March 14th 2004.

I picked up a banner and uh I got about 200 feet above the ground and the engine sucked in some air through the carburator. The air has to go back out through the carburator to go out the engine, and that's when the engine quit. There was a second there where I was wondering, Is it going to start up again? Then the second came and went. So then I decided to drop the banner, I switched fuel tanks, I made sure that the magnoos[indecipherable] were on and then I made an angry turn to the right. And then there was all woods in front of me so I couldn't land there. There wasn't enough altitutde to go back and run on the runway. So all that was there was this road, and so I made an angry turn left onto this road and I ducked underneath this powerline and everything was peachy, but then this truck pulled out in front of me and I hit the truck. hahaha

Has the engine quit on you before

uhm. No not like that it hasn't not where I had to make a landing that fast

have you been properly trained to do something like this?

uhm, yeah they train you. Like uhm. One of the big training things is if you lose an engine on take off you're not supposed to make a 180 back to the field. You lose a lot of altitutude on that and a lot of people end up stalling and spinning in

what are you supposed to land on then?

Whatever, a golf course is great or a road if there is no one on it. just whereever. The idea is not to save the airplane, but to be able to walk away from the thing.

What was going through your mind when you were going in for the final landing and the truck pulled out in front of you.

Oh haha, I was actually really pissed off at the guy for pulling out right in front of me. Cuz I ducked under the power line. and all my focus was on that. and I linedup on the bottom line and everything was going just fine and I see this old timer he looks left and he looks right and he just didnt see me he just pulled out in front of me.

Is there a horn or something you could get the Driver's attention with

No. haha. He just pulled out right in front of me and I didn't have enough airspeed to pull up over him at that point and I couldnt go to the left because there was a house to the left and there was stuff to the right and more power lines above me and stuff so I was like we're going to hit. Too bad!! hahaha

And I hit and we slowed to a stop and I unbuckled my seatbelt and I was so pissed off because you wouldnt even have heard of this story if that guy hadn't pulled out in front of me. And it would have been a total non-event. But I got out and I yelled, "you sunovabitch you cut me off" and that wasn't too nice a thing to say and I thought hopefully nobody heard that, and nobody did, thank god. and so I went over and I checked to see if the guy was ok and he was so. and the cops showed up and the fire department and all these people come and stuff.

Did you have to call the cops?

Oh no. Within minutes I saw people calling 911 on cell phones and they got there pretty quick.

What was on the banner that you were flying?

I don't really don't remember what was on there. I think it was for a local restaurant or something like that, I honestly don't remember.

How much does it cost to put a message up on the banner?

Uhm. It kind of depends on what kind of bulk you get into. I think for an hour its about 3-400 dollars.

So How long are you up there for?

Well it depends, the longest one i've been up for 5 hours. The shortest one is for a Marry Me banner and you're up there for like 15 minutes. Most of them are from an hour to 3 hours I'd say.

What did people back at school say when you got back?

Well it's an aviation school so, They were all pretty interested to hear about a story like that. It got a lot of attention. There was a comic about me in the newspaper and it got more attention than I thought I deserved.

Has anyone else done a truck landing at your school?

uh none to my knowledge no.

How many times have you crash landed or what other vehicles have you crashed

hahaha. The airplane I guess, uhm. I never crashed the motorcycle, I've been hit be other people in cars before, but I never actually totaled one or crashed it really bad.

Is your plane totalled now.

It's not totalled, but theres a lot of damage done to it. They'll fix it up and it'll fly again, but theres a lot of damage to it

How's the truck?

Uhm the truck... the engine runs fine, but theres a lot of cosmetic damage to the cab and stuff like that, and it's probably totalled. The term totalled sounds really bad. you know but if you have an old car before that's only worth like 1500 dollars and someone will hit it or something and you'll say that the car is totaled even though there isnt too much damage to it, but the cost to fix the vehicle is more than the vehicle is worth. So I think that's what's with the truck. There's probably about 2000 worth of damage to the truck.

What sort of drugs and/or alcohol were involved in the accident?

(nervous laughter) none. (nervous laughter) thank god.

What was the first thing you said to the truck driver?

Uh you putting this on the website?

yeah

alright, I said you sunofabitch you cut me off. well he didn't hear. You have all this adrenaline going through you and you're just looking for some way to displace it right away. So you land, or you crash or whatever, and you undo your seatbelt and that adrenaline level is way up there and I just blurted it out. I was pissed and I just blurted it out. Right after I was like aww, I shouldn't have said that. That's kind of mean.

So then what did he say to you?

So he didn't hear me say that, no one did So I ran up to him and said are you ok? And he had a funny quote. He said, "I looked left, I looked right, but I forgot to look up."


glen.jpg

Would you call yourself a hero?

Me? no. I didn't say that did I?

No we were just wondering. How would you define a hero?

Can I Define hero? no no, I can't define hero.

Does it make you mad that every AP article has a quote from the truck driver and not you?

Oh no. I had a lot of people ask me for interviews actually like newspapers and stuff like that. A couple days after it happened I had late edition. and some guy from los angeles called me up. they wanted to put me on national TV and tell my story. And I didn't do it. And if I wanted to do it now, the story is too old Nobody's interested now. But I had probably 5 or 6 people wanting to do interviews or ask questions or things like that. but it's company policy not to do anything with the media so I turned it all down.

Thanks for doing the interview with us then.


Hey no problem

So.. Who is Kyle Melen?

oh hahahaha. oh man. Kyle melen. That is my EVIL half, Put that on the website. mu hahahahaha. uhm. I dunnno, That's my wisconsin name, you can put that down.

So why would anyone change their name from kyle to glen?

Well the last name was spelled wrong. So that makes sense.

How about the first name?

Well uh, because i'm weird? I dunno? Does that work?

Yeah, that works. Well I think that's that all we have for you Glen.

If I google this will your guys website pop up?

Yeah.

Hey, Glen is spelled with two N's ok?

Two N's? ok. Thanks for doing this Glen. Have a goodnight.

Hey no problem.
