That old standby, Jeopardy! When there's nothing else on I can tune in and be reminded why college is a waste of money. All one really needs is a well-trained memory.
This week is Back To School Week, when they let Jr. High kids have a crack at answering questions with more questions.
Last night they had three bright young people, schooled in seemingly every conceivable category, save one: Space.
There was a Space category and it pretty much creamed them all.
Example: When asked to name the moon of Saturn recently explored by the Huygens probe, (Correct answer, What is Titan?) they were completely stumped.
One girl answered, "What is Venus?"
Shameful.
