Ponderables
OK, now it's time for some serious thinking. The more sophisticated our society becomes, the faster these-here "stumper" thingies seem to pop-up. (Why do you suppose that is? Hmmmm...)
If you have more Ponderables to add to this list, please send them to CWIRE so that we can share them with other great minds of the world!
