Apart from being well known for causing a little ruckus here and there during the 12th century, they also adopted unusual customs concerning feathers and hats, and the amusing "cutting fruit a certain way, according to their affiliation" is rather ponderous, too. Who were they, and what was the commotion about? A rather unusual space travel "first," what was the name of the first teddy bear in space? The first hardback print run of which 1950s novel used an unusual but rather appropriate binding material? What is the correct term for the little squiggly thing at the end of this question?
