Google news is such a wonderful thing. How else would we know that a guy from Salem, Oregon was whacked on The Price Is Right? Yep, Plinko just isn't enough to entertain the masses any more. Now we need game show homicides. It's right in the headline: Salem man gets shot on 'Price Is Right'.
Okay, I'll stop the lame humor. Of course, the story actually recounts how a Salem contestant got his shot at winning fame and fortune on Drew's little shopping show. He apparently didn't do so well, though the famous contestant waiver prevents him from going into details: "I could have done better. I wish I had listened to the crowd and my wife."
Meanwhile, a note from runnerworld.com in the news cache informs us that Jeopardy celebrates its 47th birthday today. Wikipedia agrees that Art Fleming first gave answers and asked for questions on March 30, 1964.
The story then tries some occasionally funny Jeopardy-style clues about jogging. I sort of liked Porn To Run.
