Why did beaver hat makers go mad?
At one time hatters (the correct word for hat makers) used mercury in preparing the skins used to make hats and to get sharp corners in the hats they chewed on the skins. This caused ingestion of the mercury, which is a neurotoxin. They eventually developed mercury poisoning, which affected their brains causing a form of chemically induced madness.

The Zuchetto has eight panels, while the Yarmulke has many different shapes, sizes, and patterns.
And they have some difference in purpose. The original purpose of the zuchetto was to cover the tonsure, most likely for warmth in the days before central heating. It has become a symbol of tonsure, and therefore the zuchetto is proper for wear by all clerics, not just priests and prelates.
The yarmulke (actually called a kippa (kee-PAH) by the majority of Jews) is a symbolic item. It is meant to be a visible acknowledgment that HaShem (The Creator) is always above us.
What is the history of a bishop's hat called mitre?
A bishop's special hat is called a mitre.
HISTORY OF THE BISHOP'S MITRE
The Jewish priesthood in the Old Testament were distinguished by a special headdress, which, in the King James Version of the Bible, is called a mitre. Most modern bible translations render this word as 'turban', it being a linen headwrap. However, in the first century, when Christianity was first established, it appears that Christians looked to Jesus Christ as their High Priest, (Hebrews 3:1; 7:26-28 etc) rather than to any man appointed under the Jewish Law covenant, and consequently the wearing of religious 'turbans of office' ceased to be practiced.
Evidently Christianity was marked by a break from many of the customs of Judaism (Hebrews 7:18); the priesthood under the Law of Moses had been fulfilled, (Hebrews chapter 7) and consequently Christian bishops did not need to wear any a mitre or special official head-covering or robe of office to indicate any perpetuation of the Levitical priesthood. (Galatians 3:23 - 4:10)
The word 'bishop' does appear five times in the King James Version of the New Testament, (Phillipians 1:1; 1 Timothy 3:1,2; Titus 1:7; 1 Peter 2:25) but there is no mention of any mitre or special headdress being worn by those bishops.
Outside of biblical Judaism the mitre/turban was also worn as a symbol of office. These mitres had different shapes. It has been asserted that the priesthood of Dagon (the fish god?) wore a tall clefted mitre that resembled a fish's head, but this seems to more conjecture than substantiated historical fact.
The first mention of bishops in the Christian church wearing mitres is in the 11th century, in a letter written in 1049 by Pope Leo IX, granting a bishop the right to wear a mitre. The first illustrations of bishops wearing mitres also appear from around this time period, in two miniatures which show Catholic bishops wearing mitres. This special style of headdress for bishops became widespread in the Catholic church, and is now seen, in different forms, in both the Western and Eastern Orthodox churches.

Why is a kippah and tallit worn by a boy?
It's a sign that he is a Jewish adult.
Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God.

Why do Jewish men wear yarmulkes in the house?
Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. This practice is twice mentioned in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice, not something new.
The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulkah," is a contraction of the Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King.
The kippah is traditionally worn by Jewish men. Observant Jewish women who have been married (including widows and divorcees) cover their heads more completely with scarves, hats, or wigs, but for a totally different reason. The tradition for women comes from a different source than that of men and originates from the laws dealing with the sotah, implying that a Jewish married woman should cover her hair under normal circumstances. Today, some women - mainly Reform and Conservative Jews - wear a kippah. Some Jews wear kippot only while praying, eating, reciting a blessing, or studying Jewish religious texts.
In modern contexts, it is also common for non-religious Jews or even non-Jews to wear a simple kippah, or to cover their heads as a sign of respect, when present at Jewish religious services or at ostensibly Jewish sites, such as Yad Vashem and the Western Wall. Male Jews and non-Jews alike are asked to don a skullcap in the vicinity of the Western Wall, and returnable skullcaps are provided for this use.
Any form of head covering is acceptable according to halakha (Jewish law). There are no hard and fast rules on the subject, although the compact, lightweight nature of a kippah, along with the fact that hats for men have fallen out of fashion in the West over last few decades, may have contributed to its popularity. Kippot have become identified as a symbol of Judaism over the last century. Haredi men, who mostly wear large black cloth or velvet kippot, often wear fedoras with their kippot underneath. In the Hasidic community, this double head-covering has Kabbalistic meaning.

Why do Muslim men wear white skullcaps - taqiyah?
The taqiyah, also spelled tagiyah, gefiyah, keffiyah, and kufiyyah is a short, rounded cap worn by Muslim men. This cap is worn by Arab Muslims with the thawb or salwar kameez. When worn by itself, the tagiyah can be any color. When worn under the keffiyah scarf, it is always white. Some Muslims wrap the turban around the cap. The turban is called an Imama in Arabic. A hadith in the books of Abu Dawoodand Tirmidhi quotes Muhammad as saying, "The distinction between us and the polytheists is the turbans over our caps."
In the United States and Britain, many Muslim merchants sell the prayer cap under the name kufi.
Muslims always wear a cap under the turban, unlike Sikhs, Jews, and Arab Christians. (For more information about Arab Christians, see Maronite Church, Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Melkite, and Arab Americans)
Muslims wear the tagiyah cap to emulate Muhammad. The companions of Muhammad were never seen without their heads being covered. In order to emulate their actions, Muslims throughout the world wear a variety of tagiyah caps, fez hats, and other headgear. Another goal of wearing a tagiyah is to be more like Muhammad and therefore obey and follow his tradition. The tagiyah cap is not a modern invention within the US-based Muslim community, but a tradition from antiquity. In fact, ancient Arabs had the habit of always wearing something on their heads. They considered it inappropriate not to wear headgear like the keffiyeh, see Sartorial hijab for further information.
The tagiyah is also called a prayer cap in English. Many Muslims wear the tagiyah during Jumu'ah, or Friday prayers at the mosque, and during daily salat, or prayers at home, see external links for photos. For men, it is mustahab, which means praise worthy or seeking the love of God, to cover the head during prayer. Some Muslims use a prayer mat during salat. It is common for men to wear a tagiyah during weddings. Peace.

O que Galileu Galilei fez para ser um grande cientista?
Galileu Galilei (em italiano: Galileo Galilei; Pisa, 15 de fevereiro de 1564 - Florença, 8 de janeiro de 1642 foi um físico, matemático, astrônomo e filósofo italiano.
Galileu Galilei foi personalidade fundamental na revolução científica. Foi o mais velho dos sete filhos do alaudista Vincenzo Galilei e de Giulia Ammannati. Viveu a maior parte de sua vida em Pisa e em Florença, na época integrantes do Grão-Ducado da Toscana.
Galileu Galilei desenvolveu os primeiros estudos sistemáticos do movimento uniformemente acelerado e do movimento do pêndulo. Descobriu a lei dos corpos e enunciou o princípio da inércia e o conceito de referencial inercial, ideias precursoras da mecânica newtoniana. Galileu melhorou significativamente o telescópio refrator e com ele descobriu as manchas solares, as montanhas da Lua, as fases de Vénus, quatro dos satélites de Júpiter, os anéis de Saturno, as estrelas da Via Láctea. Estas descobertas contribuíram decisivamente na defesa do heliocentrismo. Contudo a principal contribuição de Galileu foi para o método científico, pois a ciência assentava numa metodologia aristotélica.
O físico desenvolveu ainda vários instrumentos como a balança hidrostática, um tipo de compasso geométrico que permitia medir ângulos e áreas, o termómetro de Galileu e o precursor do relógio de pêndulo. O método empírico, defendido por Galileu, constitui um corte com o método aristotélico mais abstrato utilizado nessa época, devido a este Galileu é considerado como o "pai da ciência moderna".
