We’ve been watching Ken Jennings’ winning streak on Jeopardy pretty much every evening. At some point, the notion got stuck in my head that Ken looks like the elf Hermey in the holiday movie Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys. You know, the elf who wanted to be dentist.

So, what do you think?

And while I’m blogging about Jeopardy, can I just get it out of my system about how much it drives me crazy when challengers go into Final Jeopardy with an actual chance of beating him but they don’t wager enough to win even if Ken got the question wrong. Arrrgh!

Yeah, I’m a nerd.
