(Alex: [Before giving the Final Jeopardy! clue] A brief word of explanation regarding one of our categories in the previous round. It was MYTHOLOGY and we had a clue that had to do with the Hindu religion. It was not our intention to get across the thought that the Hindu religion is mythology. It's not our intention at all to denigrate that religious belief and we apologize if any of you have misinterpreted our intentions. We're sorry about that.)
