Default I'll take "Ruptured Achilles" for $500
When "Jeopardy" star and all-around Canadian Alex Trebek showed up for his duties hosting the National Geographic World Championship in at Google HQ in Mountain View, California, he was asked to explain why he was on a pair of crutches.

According to a local news outlet who was live-blogging the contest, here's his reply: "At 2:30 a.m., chasing a burglar down the hallway of my San Francisco hotel until achilles tendon ruptured and then fell on carpet, bruising other leg in process. Surgery on Friday."

You think you're pretty smart, don't you, Trebek? What with your Diego mustache and your greasy hair!

He was going after the pen is mightier, but had to bail when he heard Trebek swiping his card.

It was an SNL skit. During (I think) Celebrity Jeopardy, Sean Connery (his lookalike) mispronounces An Album Cover as anal bum cover.


Sound is a mess. Turn up (then down after you're done) your volume.
