WHY is the sky blue? Why do cats purr? And why did you get married? If you're engaging in some year-end reflection, you're not alone. These are among the mysteries people want explained. We know this thanks to an "auto-suggest" feature many search engines now use. When you type even a single word into these search boxes, it gives you a list of suggested, presumably popular completions. Enter "Michelle," for example, and you might get back Obama, Malkin, Pfeiffer.
