And yes- they can ask questions.

You will see this article mentions questions from the grand jurors (just in case you don't believe me)

In Grand Jury proceedings do not the Jurors have the ability to ask questions of (cross examine?) the witnesses?

Good question. I don't know the answer. It may well depend on the jurisdiction in question whether it's permitted. But even if permitted, it's not done by a trained professional lawyer doing it. Very different bit. More like the admonition against anyone attempting to be their own lawyer.
