WTF? FedEx? Jeopardy must be rigged. Now I'm not sure if Jennings was any good. Ever(think Quiz Show).

Kind of appropriate he didn't really get outsmarted, just didn't know those 3 questions, any of which would have won it for him.

Hmm, good point. Perhaps he just wanted to be done with it? It's not like he doesn't have more money coming...I just read that he's writing a book.

And, yes, it appears that this giant among game show contestants -- a man who knows things like that, in the Nibelungenlied, Siegfried is the hero who twice defeats the dwarf Alberich and takes his cloak of invisibility -- gets taken down by some chick named Nancy Sounds-Like-Zerg who went into the Final Jeopardy round with a pathetic $10,000 in her kitty. It's just like those Greek tragedies you read about in high school.

Fedex and UPS do hire a lot of people during the holiday season. The reason his answer isn't reasonable is because they are blue collar workers, not white collar. My mom made the same mistake.

H&R Block also has people that work full time, they just add a lot of people for tax season.

I think this once and for all proves:

Accountants > Computer Scientists

:D:p


For those of you confused, Ken is a computer scientist by trade and the question related around a Tax Accounting Company. A stretch, I know.

LOL

He's in a new tax bracket now, and H&R Block is making sure he'll always remember the company for other reasons: It has offered him free tax preparation for life.

On a side note, my company's ex-CFO is now H&R Block's CFO, for anyone that was curious. :p

Yeah, no kidding. As a computer scientist, I'm calling out CPA. I'll even throw down first:

Lots of pics of my wife on our wedding page

Now put up or shut up! :D

We got married on Halloween, so we had everybody come in costume. My wife had already bought her dress before we changed the date to Halloween, so that's why we weren't wearing costumes as well.

Sorry, I don't intend to mean this in a bad way, but the you look like an elf. And with the way you had the decorations and guests in costumes, all you needed was a green outfit and pointy ears.

Yeah, I'm not exactly a tall guy. I'm 5'4" and my wife is almost 5'10". I'm pretty sure I've never been compared to an elf before, though. Lots of other things, certainly, but not an elf. :)

(I'm presuming that you mean because of my height, and not that I really look like an elf. Heh.)
