Fun Fact! Dunce caps used to be signs of intelligence
John Duns Scotus, a thirteenth-century philosopher, believed that wearing a pointed cap would help spread knowledge from the tip to the brain, and his "Dunsmen" followers wore them as a badge of honour. However, his ideas became less popular in the 1500s, and the meaning of the Duns cap was turned on its head, becoming something of a joke.
