Throughout history there have been several questions that have plagued mankind; these are not them:

1) If you're standing at the South Pole, what time zone are you in?
2) Why are there TV commercials for plastic?
3) Why do Generals have private quarters and Privates have general quarters?
4) Why is everyone referring to 2000 as being the beginning of a new century and millennium, when 2001 obviously is?
5) Why is there saturation advertising for milk? (TV, magazines, billboards) -Have people started pouring soda on their corn flakes?
6) The '@' symbol has been around long before computers, Why did someone originally find it necessary to abbreviate a 2-letter word?
7) Will the schwa ever become an official letter in our alphabet?
