Watson goes DOWN!

Good news: The evil trivia-genius rampage of Watson the sinister supercomputer has been halted. Monday night, in an exhibition game, Watson took on several current members of Congress, and Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) came out on top. My pals at Salon scored a brief interview with the champ, but it shouldn't surprise anyone: Dude is himself a five-time Jeopardy! champ, he represents the state of my birth, he used to be a nuclear physicist (yeah, like that'll help you on Jeopardy!) and like me, he's an alum of Carleton College, where you can actually major in trivia (well, not really, but de facto when I was there, that's for sure).

That is all. You may go back to thinking about Charlie Sheen.
