I missed most of Jeopardy! tonight because I stayed late at work, and this is a shame, because it was a very eventful game. Not only did a college student win $48,000 without breaking a sweat, either.
When I got home, the Double Jeopardy round was not quite halfway over and Laszlo and Navarre were downstairs watching with AJD, Gilly, and Zebulon. This was, naturally, due to the effects of Hrithik's alarmingly effective meditation routine. Laszlo had won an honourable mention because the winning contestant's anecdote was about getting in-between a female moose and her offspring (moral of story: this is a bad idea). And Navarre really cleaned up, because there was an entire category about lions in the first round. It's not clear whether this counts as a five-game win or as winning one game five times, but either way, this is an unprecedented accomplishment.
Hrithik, naturally, is claiming all the credit.
This is on top of AJD's recent discovery, mentioned in the comment thread on an earlier post, that the conference he's attending next month has sessions on the dialectological situation in Madagascar. We'd joked before about Murchison needing to monitor Team Malagasy for suspicious behaviour, but it must be said that since Zebulon got here and Hrithik started meditating, things have been strange. What is next, and what is going on? Madagascar gets to host an Olympic games? Madagascar suddenly becomes a world empire?
