A frivolous fact. 'Tonsure' is the name given to a monk's haircut.

A newly ordained monk starts living at the monastery. He is placed in charge of the copying of holy texts. He notices that all of the monks are copying copies of their sacred texts. He goes to the Abbot,

"If there is an error in one of the copies, all of the subsequent copies will have the same error."

The Abbot replies,

"We have been doing it this way for centuries, but I understand your concern." So he heads to the cellar to check all of the main copies against the original texts.

Hours later no one has seen him and they begin to get worried. They send a monk to the cellar to check on him. He finds him sitting and weeping next to their main text. He asks the Abbot,

"What's wrong? What did you find?"

The Abbot looks at him,

"It says celebrate!"
