The Interrogative Mood

Have you decided yet what historical moment you would most like to have witnessed with your own eyes and ears?

Who in your opinion was the greatest conqueror, militarily speaking, in history?

Do you know anyone on whom you can drop in unannounced and in whose kitchen you might then sit and talk pleasantly?

Are you aware that the European rock dove, commonly called a pigeon, represents one of the most successful global invasions in the history of animal adaptations?

Are we redeemed by regret?
