Ken Jennings Quotes

You live overseas, you see these exotic places and you want to know about them. But, weirdly, it also made me homesick for all these very prosaic places in America Picture Quote #1

Even before you understand them, your brain is drawn to maps Picture Quote #1

The future is here Picture Quote #1

It’s really changed me. For the first time I’m in favor of the Bush tax cuts Picture Quote #1

People are using GPS systems to find millions of little hidden objects throughout the world - often as simple as a piece of Tupperware hidden in the woods.

You watch an old ‘Jeopardy!’ and the categories alone are very plain. ‘Poetry,’ or ‘Movies,’ or ‘Physics.’ If you watch it now, though, there’ll be a theme board where the categories are all Hitchcock movies. Lots more jokes, lots more high-concept categories and questions Picture Quote #1

I threw the opening pitch at a Blue Jays game, and after the pitch, the mascot asked me if I wanted him to sign the game ball, which I thought was funny. What would he write? Best Wishes, Some Guy in a Bird Suit? Picture Quote #1

I have always loved maps Picture Quote #1

For some reason the most devoted mapheads seem to be kids Picture Quote #1

Being a nerd really pays off sometimes Picture Quote #1

The thing you like/are good at is a sacred thing Picture Quote #1

There must be something innate about maps, about this one specific way of picturing our world and our relation to it, that charms us, calls to us, won’t let us look anywhere else in the room if there’s a map on the wall Picture Quote #1

It’s so much fun that the money is just icing on the cake. There seems to be a lot of icing Picture Quote #1

If youre a vegan who ran a marathon and got your dogs from a shelter, how do you decide which thing to wedge into the conversation first? Picture Quote #1

Twitter makes you a comedian in the same way that digital cameras make you a photographer Picture Quote #1

When you see people who are really good at game shows, the one common attribute is a cool head under pressure: an ability to perform as well in the studio, surrounded by lights and noise, as you do on your couch Picture Quote #1

I always feel a certain sense of reverence in libraries, even small city ones that smell like homeless internet users Picture Quote #1

We don’t realize how hard it was to drive anywhere outside the major cities less than a century ago Picture Quote #1

It’s boring to have the same guy win. I’m actively rooting against myself Picture Quote #1

If I start outsourcing all my navigation to a little talking box in my car, I’m sort of screwed. I’m going to lose my car in the parking lot every single time Picture Quote #1
