    Ken jennings is a fantastic host.

    It was a great Final question. It was the type of Final where you just knew one would answer correctly, one would be wrong, and the other could go either way. Imo, I think 2 would have answered correctly 25 years ago. The younger Jeopardy people today dont know their presidential history as they should.

    Good FJ. I was torn between Cleveland and Wilson and probably would have gone with the former, because I wasn’t sure whether Wilson was remarried in office. Wilson HS in my city was renamed a couple years ago after WW was deemed to have been a racist.

    Is “celibate” acceptable as being like a friendship w/o benefits?
