This sounds like a mammoth task, you want concept recognition (e.g. Running is a type of <physical activity>). You'd probably need more than just a thesaurus as your auxiliary data source.
Try searching DBPedia for how to get a large set of name --> type mappings, it's available for free. Just curious, since this is a hard problem that you're trying to solve: do you have any particular type of questions in mind that you want answered, or just any random questions need to be answered as well?
