No, the hint I gave was pretty frickin' huge. Once more, with feeling...

Hint: The Body knows where this is.

I had to take a wild guess on this one. Unless there's a state called Liver I don't know about, The Body hint is a lost causee to me.

Hahahaha!!! That hint IS pretty obvious, but only if you know something about the subject matter in which the hint is related to. Haha, it's still pretty misleading, but a very cool hint!

Correct Answer for #17: Minnesota

It's the "Predator" connection. Three co-stars from the movie "Predator" have had political experience: Former Navy SEAL and pro-wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura served one term as governor of the state of Minnesota, Arnold Schwarzenegger is currently the governor of California (and just cut a bunch of money from schools, jerk), and Sonny Landham ran for (but did not win) governor of Kentucky.

Question #18 coming up. I might post it a little earlier than usual, since I think it will be a tough one. I'm trying to think up a decent hint...

Lol why would I?

The only reason I know is because in my senior year of HS my civics teachers told us about that like 10 times and it was a question on a test... how "the body" ventura became govenor of minnesota

$500 isn't a valid Jeopardy! amount any more, tool.

So what, you're old enough to remember when Jeopardy! had $500 questions but not when Jesse "The Body" Ventura was governor? Sure, he stopped wrestling before you were born, but that's what you get for being so youthful.

The hint was easy. All you had to do was a wikipedia search for "The Body." I didn't know that was Ventura's wrestling nickname, but as soon as I realized it, the answer was obvious.

Really? It's been a while since I've watched Jeopardy!. All that thinking hurts my head, and I prefer not to do that.

I haven't been on in over a week (darn moving) so I have no clue what has happened so far but I'm back on and hope to keep continuing this trivia (If I'm even still participating haha).
