The questions were written by monkeys on computers or more likely computers without monkeysSep 13, 2006 I was biking across Third Avenue on 49th street in Manhattan when I spotted Ken Jennings on the North-West corner of the street. I recognized him immistakeably and was inclined to yell "Ken!" at him as I raced by. At first he didn't turn but when I was fifteen feet past him he turned and looked and gave me a sort of sheepish look, like "yes, it's me alright." It'll go down as one of my favorite celebrity sightings even though I recently lost all respect for him when I played this new board game called "Can You Beat Ken?" not licenced by Jeopardy. It plays roughly like Trivial Persuit but the questions are so poorly written it seems like the question writers just copied a bunch of text off Wikipedia and added some question marks here and there. Luckily it came with some miniature Ken Jennings-shaped playing pieces which I promptly desecrated with a permenant marker when the game became too frustrating to play.

Can YOU beat Ken?Aug 05, 2005 If like me, you enjoyed watching Ken Jennings win Jeopardy!, then you'll enjoy matching wits in his new game Can You Beat Ken? Ken is with you every step of the way and lets you discover if you have what it takes to win. This game will possibly inspire a whole new generation to try their luck on TV quiz shows.

The King of TriviaJul 29, 2005 I followed Ken throughout his 75 appearances on Jeopardy. I could not wait to play his game after seeing it on Good Morning America. I wasn't disappointed. Nor were my co-workers that play it frequently with me during lunch breaks. Who better to design a trivia game than the king of trivia, Ken Jennings?
