Question mark
In the early 13th century, when the growth of communities of scholars (universities) in Paris and other major cities led to an expansion and streamlining of the book-production trade, punctuation was rationalized by assigning Alcuin's stroke-over-dot specifically to interrogatives; by this time the stroke was more sharply curved and can easily be recognized as the modern question mark.
Question Mark &amp; the Mysterians (album)
Question Mark & the Mysterians is a 1997 eponymous album by the garage rock band ? and the Mysterians, known for their #1 1966 hit "96 Tears". The album was recorded by the original members of the band as a result of their inability to access their masters or re-release their own earlier material, which had passed from the ownership of label Cameo to Allen Klein. It included all of the songs released on their first album, "96 Tears", as well as several other tracks. The rerecorded version of "96 Tears" was subsequently incorporated into compilations.
