Martin Luther - a constipated man.

QUOTE from Louis Nizer:

TRUE RELIGION IS THE LIFE WE LEAD, NOT THE CREED WE PROFESS.

What I LEARNED today: What many people do not know about Martin Luther is that he was often constipated, a fact he alluded to himself in his writings, and spent much of his time "in contemplation" sitting on the john! Recently archeologists working on the remains of Martin Luther's house in Wittenberg, Germany, have discovered the toilet where it is believed he wrote the "95 Theses" and other important works.
At this point, visitors to Luther's home will not be allowed to sit on the toilet, but one wonders if one day old Martin had not been a bit short of toilet paper, would there have been "96 Theses"?

From the book, MINDBLOWERS by Jim Rhine. The book is a look back at history that will change the way we look at the world today. It is a funny and very interesting book.

Some other DAY BRIGHTENER stories. Every year Ruth Ann and I make from 40-50 lefse. We give some of it to friends to brighten the Christmas season for them. We give to Paul and Verna Lewison, Hank and Karen Biere and Wack and Shelley Walker. We delivered them two weeks ago. Last week Ruth Ann and I ran into Wack and Shelley in Springville. Wack eats all of theirs' as Shelley is not Norwegian and she doesn't make it either. He was one happy dude when he greeted us. He said he had been eating it at all times of the day with different toppings, including jam. Wack was raised in Elkader, Iowa, and he remembers the lefse his grandmother made as a kid. He absolutely loves our lefse and we make him a happy man at Christmas. Such a good feeling to see him so happy.

Verna Lewison brightens our Christmas days by giving us kringle in return for our lefse. What a treat. Thank you Verna.
