Ken Jennings Has A Blog

...And it's damn funny. A sample:

...we regret the insinuation that Mr. Alex Trebek is a robot, and has been since 2004. Mr. Trebek’s robotic frame does still contain some organic parts, many harvested from patriotic Canadian schoolchildren, so this technically makes him a “cyborg,” not a “robot.” Ken-Jennings.com regrets the error.

(Ken may have a point here.)

I also get trivia e-mailed from Ken-Jennings.com every week. It's good stuff. Sure, I know the blog is out there in part to promote a book, and he probably has ghostwriters punching up the humor -- on the blog, in his book, and in his colum in Mental_Floss. But that really doesn't matter to the end user, which is this case would be you, Loyal Readers. Good writing is good writing, and at the end of the day, Ken's stuff is a lot of fun to read.
