[@amininshassi6370]

I love this theme song. It reminds me of Eddie Timanus, an excellent jeopardy contestant who won $69,700, extremely awesome amount of money, so he really did a fantastic job despite the fact that he is totally blind. Therefore, this shows me that people who have disabilities like this can still succeed in doing what they really want to do in their lives. The point is that disabilities such as total blindness doesn't stop people from doing anything as long as they put their minds to it.

David Francisco he came in 3rd in that though so he lost to a computer and ken Jennings... just saying
