Another one from the bbc ..

Top hats have been fashionable for almost 200 years, but when the first one was worn in 1797 by James Heatherington, he was immediately arrested and fined 50 pounds for behaving in a manner 'calculated to frighten timid people'.

When was the last time you saw someone wearing a top hat .. besides at a wedding ..
