Time for another installment of "The Real Questions", where we take a look at the wilder side of r/AskHistorians! Here, I give a shout-out to people asking the more atypical questions on this sub: questions that investigate amusing, unique, bizarre, or less common aspects of history, as well as ones that take us through intriguing adventures of historiography/methodology or niche/overlooked topics and moments in history. It's always a wide (and perhaps confusing) assortment of topics, but at the end of the day, when I see them I think, "Finally, someone is asking the real questions!"

Below are my entries for the week - questions with a link to an older response are marked with ‡. Let me know what you think were the realest questions you saw this week, and be sure to check out my full list of Real Questions.

Sunday is also the perfect day is draw some attention to the interesting, yet overlooked questions that still cry out for the attention of an expert. Here’s what caught my eye this week, but feel free to post your own or others that you found interesting!

• /u/King_Vercingetorix asked Academia in the US is often called intellectual 'Ivory towers' as an insult. What's the history behind the term 'Ivory towers' and how did it became so widespread as anti-Academia insult?

• /u/ThusSpokeZoroaster asked In Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure Billy the Kid hijacks a medieval horse-drawn cart. Would the tack used on a middle-ages horse been familiar to someone from the 19th century?
