The best idea ever?

Ready? Okay, it's a Jeopardy online game. But it's so much more. It's the new online poker. Let's say you can play in 3-person Jeopardy games where you bet $1, $3, $5, or even higher. If it's a $1 game, the winner takes $2.50 and the house takes 50 cents. It makes so much cents!!!!

An online Jeopardy game would be perfect. 3 people would enter online and use the spacebar as their buzzer. The person would enter and type in an answer in under 5 seconds. The game would be played exactly like the real Jeopardy game, including double jeopardy and what not. You wouldn't have to enter "what is" or "who is", but you would have to type in the answer with correct spelling, and a program would determine if it's an acceptable answer. Who wouldn't LOVE this? Everyone loves trivia, and everyone loves competing against their friends in trivia. This is the perfect storm of awesomeness.

There could even be a section where it allows for the awkward interview. You would type in something about yourself and a computer program simulating Trebek's voice would ask you questions. Therefore you would have a chance to talk about your trip to China where someone mistook you for an Asian. It would be hilARious.

Is there even an online trivia interactive game where you can play for money? How has this not been done yet? If this can be patented, I would patent the biznatch out of this. This is a gold mine. And yes, I'm registered for the Tuesday night online quiz to determine the next Jeopardy contestants.

If tonight's competition was any indication of your Jeopardy prowess, you might as well spend Tuesday catching up on Ugly Betty or something. Because only one will emerge from 276 cambridge #2...and it ain't gonna be you. (Check out thehonestbro.blogspot.com for the realness).
