was attempting to study when i got distracted by the wigs judges wear in the uk. now, those wigs they wear, are actually made up of horses' tails. they wear those wigs as a symbol of their status. but, how can someone, of such a high status, put something which has been urinated and shat on, on their heads?

and they had a debate if wigs should be abolished. i say not. i mean, i hope not. just the irony of a group of little clever white men.. BALDING men... walking around in wigs.

if i could make up my own version of how wigs came about, i would say, that one fine day, a learned man realised he was balding as he made his way to court. so, he came the next day, in a wig... which was, a little too long.. and he looked a little like goldilocks. so when he got home, his wife, amused, said "why dont you wear a dress while you're at it?"... he thought, WHY NOT? thus, the huge court robes came along..

so as time went by, it soon became 'court fashion'... and they say judges are boring people... at least the irony of dressing up for work kept the judges awake during trials (for we all know some judges sleep throughout the bloody trial)... but of course, to keep the 'seriousness' of the judiciary, the judges made up some clever excuse that the wearing of the robes and wigs have to be followed since it is 'tradition'... obviously they cant go around saying 'its court fashion'.. so 'tradition' sounds so much better.

hmm.. i wonder...
