Watson Wins Jeopardy IBM Challenge

The Jeopardy! IBM Challenge came to an end last night when Watson the computer blew human opponents Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter right off stage.

But the real winner was Jennings who went out with a bang (and a Simpsons reference). "I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords," he quipped as he gracefully surrendered to the computer.

Ha! Take that, Watson! You've never even seen The Simpsons! And you don't know what a pink frosted donut tastes like and you probably do a terrible Homer impression.

We humans may not be as smart as you. But at least we have a classic television show to quote when things go wrong.

Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
