Archeologists have uncovered Martin Luther’s household waste, including beer mugs, toy marbles and a child’s crossbow. The find is being shown in a new exhibition that casts the religious reformer’s private life in a new light.
Brother Martin, a stout man, was sitting on the toilet in the Wittenberg Monastery, wearing the black robe of the Augustinian Order, when he was suddenly struck with the fundamental concept of his reformist body of thought.
More—including dead cats and his wife’s wedding ring—over at Der Spiegel.
Are you quoting the Mr. T Experience?!
Luther also claimed to be able to chase the Devil away with his farts. Considering that Satan supposedly dwells in a lake of burning brimstone, Luther must really have had some wicked gas.
There's a "95 feces" joke in this post somewhere...
If only more recent religious leaders had had such flashes of insight in the toilet... Rev. Meth and Man-ass especially.
