I was just listening to K-Love (a Christian music station) and during their "information update" news broadcast, they had a Ken Jennings story!

100 plus 100 equals 600?

Ken Jennings, a rabbi and a priest walk into a bar...

I'll bite. What's the punchline?

The punchline was....Ken turned to the priest and said "You mean we had a choice?

?"

The gist of the story K-Love had on was that Jennings was going for win No. 34. That's all.

Maybe it's me, but I don't get it, since Mormonism isn't a mainline religion. It's more of a cult than a religion.

I don't think it's right to besmirch a fellow board member's religion

I told you maybe it was just me. You might want to read that first before yapping off.

Second, what I did post is true. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be there.

With all respect due to you, Chris, we'd probably be better off if this were closed or removed.

No!

I want to start my own cult worshipping Ken Jennings.

2 things:

1. KLove is a chain? Ah. I thought we were the only ones stuck with it here in Colorado... (check out wayfm for a much better christian radio station).

2. When did Mormonism get brought into this? I'm confused... unless Jennings is a mormon, in which case I geddit now.

Oh, and to make this even remotely game show related: I saw Jennings in action for the first time today (I've been overseas since June1 and today was the first day I was back that J! was on), and it's worth it alone for the banter between him and Alex - great stuff.

Answering that question, Ken *is* Mormon I believe. Also, I don't want to speak from my ass, but I believe Utah has a heavy Mormon population, esp. with Brigham Young University being there.

Correct.

Most sources put it at about 70%.
