Sometimes things happen that just make you want to scratch your head and ask Why? Why is today National Cotton Candy Day? Why did Japan attack Pearl Harbor on this date in 1941? Why did Richard Dodd return a book to the University of Cincinnati Medical Library today in 1968 that his great-grandfather James Curie had checked out in 1823? And why did he not pay the $22,646 fine? The book, by the way, was Medical Reports of the Effects of Water, Cold & Warm, Remedy in Fever & Febrile Diseases. Why not something by, say, Cicero, who is assassinated on this day in 43 BC — Roman soldiers decapitating him and cutting off his right hand? He certainly could not have scratched his head at that point and asked Why or, maybe that was all he could have done.

This question mark T is for thinkers with many questions and no answers. It's from the Strange and Unique division of the CafePress.com Yazooy shop, whose work I have praised here before.
