There's more answers than questions. Plus, Yahoo! Questions and Answers is too long.

Two reasons I suppose:
1. It's kind of like an advertisement. Nobody needs questions in their lives. They need answers to their questions. They have a question where do they go for answers? "Y! Questions"? I don't think so.
2. The amount of answers greatly exceeds the amount of questions.

because there are more answers than there are questions
and besides, "Yahoo! Questions and Answers" is much too long...
