watching an old episode of jeopardy and ken jennings is on his 19th game ($600k+ already) and he revealed that his lucky charm he has with him during every game is a TOTORO PLUSH except he doesn't realise it's a studio ghibli character. he thinks it's spirit of japanese legend

he bought it in japan and i guess someone there told him it was a helpful spirit. i'm dying to know what happened when he found out he was carrying an anime plushie and crediting it with his wins
