Ans: It's Albert Einstein's birthday.

Crystal gives some examples from a couple of books published 2012-3
under the title _Big Questions from Little People_ -- kids aged 4-12

Crystal gives a few examples of language-related questions, including:
Why can't animals talk like us? (Answered by Noam Chomsky)
....but you'll have to buy the book to get the answers.
