Back in 2004, mental floss magazine published an earth shattering issue containing a list aimed at answering the “25 most important questions in the history of universe,” an impressive achievement by any standard. I’m certain much collective noodling went into their selection, yet some of you are still losing sleep pondering these very timeless riddles and I feel compelled to help you achieve enlightenment.

For example, how often have you asked yourself, “Why does Hawaii have Interstate Highways?” And “Is it possible to own property on the moon?” Or “Can you actually sense weather with an injured body part?” Well, faithful readers, fret no more because the answers to these and 22 other universally important questions are answered once and for all here.
