"Alex Trebek knows the questions before the answers..."

That sounds like a Wernerism, only backwards.

Trebek is also a Canadian. Along with Celine Dion, Paul Anka and others. Be nice, or we'll send more.

Edit: Don't watch TV at all. Too busy posting. What's "Jeopardy"?

you don't watch Jeopardy™ much do you, Anders?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, We will keep Alex, Neil Young, Dan Ackroid, and maybe even Michael J. Fox, as long as you keep us Bryan adams and Shania Twain, free, forever! Oh and we want William Gibson back, too.

Individuals like this lend perspective to the human race. They are actually doing something different in life and not just wasting space and oxygen on this planet. I mean have you looked around lately to see what’s going down? Pretty pathetic we are.

Pretty freakin' out there.

Just one question... I'm guessing he did it beforehand to suss it out before launching up it? Seems like that's what he did on Moonlight.

That guy is shaking the foundations of what's possible.
