On nerd jokes

One and the same?

Ken Jennings, the guy who won a thousand episodes of Jeopardy! in a row, has some information for us regarding show host Alex Trebek, as I learned this morning from the Post Express.

Says Jennings:

Nobody knows he died in that fiery truck crash a few years back and was immediately replaced with the Trebektron 4000 (I see your engineers still can’t get the mustache right, by the way.)

And then:

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.

Connery and Reynolds tried to warn us, but to no avail. We should have known, Trebek.
