Brainiac by Ken Jennings Pdf

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A witty, charming, and engaging dive into trivia’s colorful history, from America’s highest-earning game show contestant of all time “Insightful, informative, and written with a strong dose of humor and humility. . . . I loved this book.”—Will Shortz, crossword editor, The New York Times Ken Jennings is trivia’s undisputed king—and as he traces his rise from anonymous computer programmer to nerd folk icon, he explores his newly conquered kingdom: the world of trivia itself. Trivia, he has found, is centuries older than his childhood obsession with it. Whisking us from the coffeehouses of seventeenth-century London to the Internet age, Jennings chronicles the ups and downs of the trivia fad: the quiz book explosion of the Jazz Age; the rise, fall, and rise again of TV quiz shows; the nostalgic campus trivia of the 1960s; and the 1980s, when Trivial Pursuit® again made it fashionable to be a know-it-all. Jennings also investigates the shadowy demimonde of today’s trivia subculture, guiding us on a tour of trivia across America. He goes head-to-head with the blowhards and diehards of the college quiz-bowl circuit, the slightly soused faithful of the Boston pub trivia scene, and the raucous participants in the annual Q&A marathon in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, “The World’s Largest Trivia Contest.” And, of course, he takes us behind the scenes of his improbable 75-game run on Jeopardy! But above all, Brainiac is a love letter to the useless fact. (Who knew that there’s a crater on Venus named after Laura Ingalls Wilder? Ken Jennings, that’s who.) Engaging and erudite, Brainiac is an irresistible celebration of nostalgia, curiosity, and geeky obsession—in a word, trivia.

Brainiac to Bimbo (Bimbofication, MILF, Mind Control) by Kimbra Clausen Pdf

Want a bimbo? Try a brain chip! Mind control and bimbofication all in one easy-to-use nanobot implant. Elizabeth Weaver is an overworked and exhausted neuroscientist for GenetiTech, the world’s leading neuroscience research and product development corporation. She’s staying late–again–desperate for a breakthrough on her research when a pounding knock shakes her office door. The muscular, lean man who interrupts is someone she’s never seen before, but he has the credentials of the secretive, elite team of engineers and neuroscientists in Future Applications. Neil explains that he has a confidential brain chip that needs a test subject and that Elizabeth is just the woman to do it. Excited for the opportunity but ultimately dismayed at the risk it poses to her and her children, she declines the once-in-a-career offer. After all, who knows what could go wrong if the chip goes haywire? What Elizabeth doesn’t realize is that a malfunction should be the least of her concerns. It turns out Neil isn’t testing the product through any official channels and he never had any intention of leaving without that chip in the back of her brain. All it takes is a quick touch of the chip to the skull and the nanobots do the rest of the work! Brain-chipped and under handsome Neil’s control, Elizabeth turns into a dumb bimbo with nothing but clothes, make-up, beach vacations, and overpowering wanton lust on her mind! Warning: This story contains bimbofication of an intelligent MILF, mind control, out-of-control lust, and anal sex. This is not a story for the faint of heart.
