Can a semicolon separate questions? Which one is correct?

A semicolon ends a statement which is followed by a related statement; it cannot end a question.

It's possible to argue "But I just used it to end a question," but because a semicolon ends a statement, you have turned your question into an ungrammatical statement.

The punctuation mark which indicates a question is a question mark ?.

I've never seen a semicolon used to separate questions. The semicolon requires almost as much of a pause as a question mark, but without communicating that the statement is a question. I think an ellipsis or even a comma might have value in writing (e.g., for a very excited person's speech), but to me the semicolon is too awkward to have any use here.
