Coisas que se aprendem na televisão...

Gormogons
.
The Ancient Noble Order of the Gormogons was a short-lived eighteenth century society; leaving no records or accomplishments to indicate its true goal and purpose. From the few published articles, it is thought that the society's primary objective was to hold up Freemasonry to ridicule. During its brief existence, it was accused of being a Jacobite-leaning group. There is some evidence of such an association, since the first known Grandmaster (or Oecumenical Volgi) was Andrew Michael Ramsay of Ayr, Scotland, a Jacobite of strong convictions. It also appears to have been a charitable organisation, at least according to its surviving bylaws. There are also some surviving pendant badges, bearing their sign.
