The gravity, rather, are prone to dressing up in black robes and whacking themselves on the forehead with large wodden boards in Monty Python films, as pennace for their inability to fit in with either the laity or the clergy. Needless to say, they are a dour and unhappy lot, hence the term 'gravity' (from the root word 'grave').
