the questions that must be answered

similar to slate's (hit-or-miss) explainer series manned by Daniel Engber, the register (which usually focuses on tech, biz and science, along with the occassional compelling tangential story) chimes in with some burning questions in a series dubbed the odd body:
- Could Drew Barrymore's memory loss in 50 First Dates really happen?
possible, but not bloody likely
- Why do we say 'um', 'er', or 'ah' when we hesitate in speaking?
they're 'fillers' to try to keep talking
- Why we are not naked even in the womb?
as a bit of a clean freak, this one was a bit disgusting

while .
hopefully these first few entries continue as an interesting series
