"Watching Jeopardy! as a kid, I recall being captivated at the rapid fire back-and-forth between the omniscient host and the brainy (though sometimes incorrect) contestants. Trivia and useless factoids are a passion of mine, and I can be counted upon to regale listeners with obscure Latin phrases and the unique properties of sea anemones without hesitation. This is much to the dismay of my captive (captured?) audience. The idea of double meanings for categories seemed a worthwhile venue for exploration, and thus the above result lingers."
