The Ken Jennings Show

1. A game show otherwise known as Jeopardy, particularly since they no longer limit how many times the same contestant can appear on the show.

2. A steady source of income for the Mormon Church since Ken Jennings tithes 10% of his gross.
My wife is watching The Ken Jennings Show. I think she's waiting to see if the church and the state can tax Ken into poverty. Otherwise, there isn't much suspense.

spam riot

The horrific emaelstrom that ensues after a spammer discovers that some careless email newsletter sender has left his email server open, allowing the spammer to send an offensive message to all the newsletter's subscribers, making it appear that the offensive message is from the newsletter.

Since most of the subscribers were wondering how the heck they got on the "newsletter" to begin with, their automatic reaction to the offensive message is to reply with rude, and sometimes threatening, demands to be unscubscribed. The server then relays all the rude replies to all the subscribers.

The replies from the subscribers who receive the rude replies run from legalistic to tearful, to even more rude and threatening than the original rude replies.

Perhaps one subscriber out of a hundred will recognize that none of the offensive and rude messages were intended specifically for himself. He may even try to persuade the rioters to calm down, but few of them will notice his pleas for reason amongst all the crap in their inboxes.
I get caught in a spam riot at least once every year or two. When that happens, I typically receive about 200 email messages per hour.

Social Security

A duh-weebish Administration within the U.S. government that is so incoherently ran that if NASA operated the way they do, ALL their shuttles would explode.

Define me:

A feature of the UrbanDictionary.com home page that never updates, resulting in hordes of new definitions for terms that are already more than sufficiently defined, and no definitions at all for terms people want defined.
