[quote name=\'adamjk\' date=\'Sep 10 2004, 05:57 PM\'] Not a whole lot of new info here, though one thing I found interesting, and pretty much sells me that this is true, is that in the article Steve Beverly mentions he received 183 emails all confirming he did indeed lose. If that doesn't sell people who don't buy this, then nothing will. [/quote]
 Well, it was probably 183 e-mails all linking back to the kottke story or a link to a link to the kottke story.

Merv discusses Ken

In the article, Merv says he hasn't met Ken Jennings, but would like to.

 "I think he's great. He's humble — a smart, nice kid. And I think he would like to meet the creator of 'Jeopardy.'"

He also discusses the rule changes over the years and says that Ken's feat is amazing.

 I've received 183 emails insisting I can have a lower mortgage rate and a bigger penis. I don't even HAVE a mortgage.

 Do you have a --never mind.

And of course, Steve Beverly is the authortative figure on game shows. Some hack could easily send 183 emails...Steve wouldn't care, just so long as his website gets attention.

Actually, he's not the authoritative figure on game shows, according to the New York Post, his site is the "online bible" for game show addicts.

Pretty strong words, I think...

I read that article as Steve saying that he received 183 emails REQUESTING confirmation that Ken lost, not GIVING confirmation...

 I read it as saying that Steve is pregnant.
