I'm watching Jeopardy. I'm a touch freaked out by Watson, just sayin'.
I'm also a bit freaked out by Alex Trebeck's ability to not even flinch and address a machine as a human contestant.

I have a few questions I'd like answered. Could I ask Watson, I would. In his abscence, I decided to ask Google.
