Some Other Notes About The Latest Jeopardy Post On Mindless Freaks

We have a mention that Cindy Stowell "lost on Jeopardy 16 days after her death.". I'm not calling this out for the obvious impossibility of being dead and being actively filmed. I know what you mean, it >aired< 16 days after her death. However, in his haste to make another magic two digit number and proving he has the attention span of a two year old, Dan has forgotten that in his Day 3 conspiracy video* he clearly indicates the story is fake. He uses the word bogus. The recent blog post does not suggest that it was fake, simply that she died.


The 16 day time period is just another way to generate multiple numbers out of source material. Could have used her birthdate, date of her first episode, date it was filmed and others. Everything is either /or. Nothing is absolute. The fact that in the 43,762,292,105 numbering systems that something doesn't equal the target number does not invalidate the one it did. Or so we should think.


I'd like to take this opportunity to suggest considering donations to cancer related charities which was Cindy's wish. She donated a substantial part if her winnings to charity. The link I found today is out of date, but it's easy to find a reputable one with a little research. In the meantime there still do not seem to be any charities to help people develop empathy or grow a conscience.
