Some have theorized that non-cgi extentions like .html are preferred over cgi, because cgi scripts can be like a bottom-less hole, the ?arg can simply increase by one and the software could return a page that is not really unique. This is easier to understand if you've ever tried to implement a spider for a search index.
Look into mod rewrite. This will let you keep your pages as they are, but they can be rewritten by your server into a nicer name, something that looks like a normal static HTML page URL.
