Jeopardy, EA-style

Rules are simple. I will start with a statement, you ask the answer in the form of a question. Whoever gets the right question gets to start the next round of Jeopardy.

Categories are:
EA member trivia
World politics
The Bible ('cause you can't have Jeopardy without The Bible as a topic )
Animal habits
Stupid and trivial trivia
Vegetables

Silly one to start....
$100 from EA member trivia:

The answer is: Mel Gibson

Re: Jeopardy, EA-style

Now where'd my response go?

Good guess, but not the one I was thinking of. Try again.

I know that someone here has the hots for Mel, but I'm blanking out.

Both are quite acceptable questions. (24 hours? What I could do with Mel for 24 hours..... )

Bridgette, you are up. Since I had the last answer, I'll choose the category.

Trivial Trivia for $100, please.

That wasn't the answer I was thinking of, but let me go check whether that is also a true answer.
