Bob Harris, Phileas Fogg of the Daily Double Set

August 25, 2006 at 8:41 AM | by | Comments (0)



Sometimes people just don't know when to quit. Jeopardy! winner Bob Harris--he won thirteen times consecutively--felt it wasn't enough to lord his intellectual superiority over us simpletons simply by taking home many thousands of dollars in cash prizes. No, he chose to spend that cash on travel, which he subsequently parlayed into a book deal.

The book, called Prisoner of Trebekistan (a barren place, sadly bereft of moustaches), chronicles Harris's trips with the prize money. It also includes tips on how to better play the game, so that you too can win prize money and travel. Sounds like a plan, but if we have to compete against guys like Bob, maybe Wheel of Fortune might be a better idea.
