Since we are an International group and I am unsure how many of the Loonies see American Jeopardy, but this week they had "Watson" an IBM computer play a couple of games against a couple of top Jeopardy players of all time (the person who won the most games and the person who won the most money). Watson beat them and 1 Million US Dollars was split between WCG and another charity. So WCG got $500,000 from IBM and Sony (owners of Jeopardy).

Just figured I'd share that.

But you neglected the part saying how much money did WE get to buy PGGBs and Beer...

I believe $450,000 will do #ni-1
