I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords



For the record, the Final Jeopardy category tonight was "U.S. Cities" and the clue alluded to two airports (O'Hare and Midway) thus leading to the answer of Chicago. The IBM Watson computer guessed "Toronto" which is hilariously and fundamentally wrong in that it's not a city in the United States.

I suspect the last Jeopardy round tomorrow will feature a lot of tricky wordplay-type questions so the humans can beat back Skynet. We're not out of this yet.
