For convenience's sake on the next page:
344. Take the name of a worldwide leader. Move the last letter of his name 9 letters up the alphabet. Then switch his first and last name. You now get, phonetically, a phrase that is used worldwide. Who and what is it?
386. Take the name of a world country. Add an "E", and then rearrange the letters, and now you get the abbreviated name of an organization that would go to that country. What is the country and organization?
391. Look at this picture of a dartboard.  http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee191/imageniusonwheels/dartboard.png What is the reasoning behind all of the arrows and circles added to the picture?
394. What constantly increasing number is currently (as of May 15th, 2011) at a little more than 7583.3?
444. Although the differences of most masculine and feminine phrases usually include "-ista", "-ette", or "-er", what phrase changes gender by replacing the "t" with a "r"?

Ha- 444 is Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Wow, I should have gotten that one earlier.

Six years of Hebrew school practice seems to indicate that that one might have been a little bit easier for me than others. :D

Time well spent, Adams! There should be some sort of credits earned or certification for solving GOW brainteasers.

You get 3 credit hours a semester, and you can get 4 if you complete the lab on Thursday afternoon.
455 is dated books (hard work for daBomb who provided those first lines).
456 EA Sports is right.
457 is a phrase I heard long ago, and have liked it ever since. Has a rhythm to it.
458 is "Time of Your Life", although one isn't a magazine anymore.
459 is Salt/Pepper or musically Salt N Pepper.
460 is "Breaking Bad". Do you people realize how many questions I have come up with by watching TV? This one was from the commercial. I have never seen an episode in my life. I hear it's pretty good though.
225 is all star and stellar. They both come from the root "star" believe it or not.
444 is Bar/Bat Mitzvah. I'm no Hebrew expert, but it's possible other Hebrew words also work in that aspect. I was mostly using "words brought to English". Well done nonetheless.
great2beme: You said you've used "so many world leaders" for Q344, but how many "worldwide leaders" have you used?

460. That's funny, I noticed that too from the commercial. I assumned there was something about the show involved with chemistry.

I am not sure what you mean by that GOW.

A world leader is someone who runs the country. A worldwide leader is someone who is in charge of countries, but does not run them. Cryptic? Yes.

I've been trying to turn Pope Benedict the X something-or-the-other into Eggs Benedict.

Think international organizations.
First set of 6 from a dorm room. Then 6 more next week. I think it's a cycle.
461. What do these fruit have in common? Apple, banana, coconut, kiwi, lemon, lime, mango, orange, passionfruit, pear, pineapple, pomegranate, strawberry, watermelon.
462. Take the 2 word description of a major American university logo. Take the opposite of the second word (like if the word was 'front', you would make it 'back'). Then switch the two words. You now get, phonetically, a word that is someone you would see on a university campus. What are the words?
463. What occupation is the namesake of two different body infections?
464. Besides Emily Dickinson and Death, who is the other rider on the carriage in “Because I could not stop for Death”?

394) I believe ~7583.3 metres above sea-level is what is classified in flying, as "high altitude flying" where most aircraft will change their cabin pressure to avoid the effects of the thin air. Just guessing, but the number makes sense to me.
