Rear-schach test

You've heard of the Rorschach test, right? You know, where they show you a random blobby shape printed on a sheet of paper and you're supposed to see something in that shape, and your interpretation of the blob is supposed to reveal something about your personality or inner psyche.
Seems like an aspiring psychologist in Nebraska tried to scale up his Rorschach test to study the collective psyche of an entire town, and it looks like the entire town has only one thing on it's mind: butt.  Unfortunately, his experiment "back"fired on him and he's been arrested.  Butt he's been given an awesome nickname: The Butt Bandit.

final jeopardy

Until recently, I've never been able to answer the Final Jeopardy question on Jeopardy!
Usually I don't have a clue as to what the answer is.
A few weeks ago, I was actually able to make educated guesses on two shows, that turned out to be correct!
Unfortunately, it wasn't quite as satisfying as it should have been, because these two shows were part of some "Teen tournament" and the contestants were apparently in high school.  Man, those high schoolers sure are smart!
Then, it happened again! I was able to answer Final Jeopardy on a regular show. But I thought that the question was strangely easy.  Also, each of the contestants had less than $10,000 at Final Jeopardy, and they were giving some really whack answers in the Double Jeopardy round. Like the clues would say stuff like, "this 7-letter word, blah blah blah..." and the contestants would give answers that were WAY off... like, not even close to 7 letters. And they'd do it in succession on the same question. It got to be so ridiculous that at one point, the camera panned to Alex, and he gave this really quizzical look to the camera. It was hilarious.
So I get the feeling that they adjusted the Final Jeopardy question to be really easy, because these contestants were idiots. And STILL, only one of them got it correct. So, even though I've been able to answer Final Jeopardy three times now, none of those instances have yet been really satisfying.

By the way, no, I don't watch Jeopardy! on a regular basis.
