I was getting Matthew ready for day care when I came across this, so I didn't get a chance to research the previous incidents of the Triple Squadoosh (PTI reference), though I remember the car wreck that was the Teen Tournament Semifinal from a couple years back. But at least in that case the three each brain farted differently.
We've had this discussion before, but I'll ask it again: how the hell do you get on Jeopardy and not do *any* research on how to wager for Final Jeopardy? Obviously they have extra eligible contestants. But what happens if you get the call, fly out, and you don't get drawn?
