Here’s a photo Nancy Christy was kind enough to forward me, showing four of the contestants at a recent 1 vs. 100 taping.

Clockwise from left: Brad Rutter ($3.2 million, Jeopardy!), Kevin Olmstead ($2.2 million, Millionaire), Ken Jennings (modesty, ahem, precludes), and Nancy Christy ($1 million, Millionaire). Who paid for lunch? We went Dutch (though I didn’t have very much cash on me, so I think I still owe Kevin a buck or two for my panini).

In other words, the net worth of the above photo is roughly the same as this one:

(Bill Gates’ little finger.)

(I can’t find photo credit info for the above, so we’ll say that this is Bill praying to his Demonic Lord and Master at last year’s Tech Ed, right after he sacrificed a few cats to Satan on a Linux-box altar.)

Somebody e-mailed me over the weekend to ask if any of the (apparently several) Ken Jennings pages on MySpace are actually me. Nope, I’m not on MySpace. They must all be fake. I prefer to attract my sexual predators and creepy online “friends” via this blog, thank you very much.
