NEW YORK - Will Ken Jennings ever lose? Not anytime soon. The "Jeopardy!" quiz master won his 38th straight game on Friday, shattering a one-day record by earning $75,000. Now his fans — and foes — have to wait while the show goes on hiatus until September.<p>Jennings, the 30-year-old Utah software engineer, has earned $1,321,660 during his nearly two-month stint. He's become an unlikely TV star, visiting Jay Leno on the "Tonight" show Thursday, and made geeks chic.<p>***Trust me, if geeks had become chic, I'd have noticed.*** |

...made geeks chic<p>This is the best kind of editorializing, because you know what he really meant was "...made my exhaustive knowledge of trivial subjects worth something to me." |
