It's so obvious what this means. Ken Jennings and his wife are both half human, half machine. With the luck of the genetic draw their son turned out to be all machine, oh well.
Better luck with the daughter (assuming they want her to be human, or at least cyborg).
Here's the conversation that led to that statement
And we now introduce what I hope will become a regular feature on Ken-Jennings.com: Today’s Bewildering Conversation with a Three-Year-Old.
Me: Dylan, you’re going to run into something. Why are you wearing that hat over your face?
Dylan: I’m a grinder soldier.
Me: What does a grinder soldier do?
Dylan: That means I eat crime.
Me: You eat crime? What does crime taste like?
Dylan: Oranges.
Maybe Dylan was just inspired by the Robert Duvall character in Apocalypse Now, if napalm can smell like victory, then crime can taste like oranges (voted top speech in cinema a few years ago)
Robert Duvall, Apocalypse Now (1979): You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...Alternate explanation, Dylan has synesthesia.
Other alternate explanation, Dylan is a three year old and learning to express himself verbally.

Other other alternate explanation: He's seen a commercial with McGruff, the Crime-Eating Dog.
I don't watch enough kiddie TV, I guess.
I still say the cyborg option is the most plausible.
