Watson computer's final answer: Humans are doomed?
When a picture is worth a thousand words:
In related news, Ken Jennings has a career in comedy waiting for him. And I, for one, am seriously crushing on the trivia geek. Just read his amazing chat from Tuesday.
One choice morsel: "On the other hand, in a not-too-distant future where nobody knows their state capitals anymore, maybe trivia geeks will be revered for their even more fantastical-seeming abilities! We will be like gods to you, carried on litters to your feasts." Swoon!

Actually Jennings may have a career as a re-cycler, not a writer. The line is from a Simpsons episode.
