For me it is the day (485 years ago) when Dr Martin Luther nailed 95 theses against the practice of indulgence on the portal of the Schlosskirche (chateau church) in Wittenberg. This was a revolt against (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle) !

| | | | | | | | (...) Just read this thread again. Not trying to nit-pick, but I think you may be mixing up your historical figures. The Martin Luther you rendered in Lego was (I believe) just Martin Luther, not a Doctor. The "Dr." probably seems to precede that (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | | | | | (...) It is possible that the Doctor title comes from the theology degree Martin Luther had, as a monk. He was a scholar, if I am not mistaken? And back then, all Church scholars were referred to as "Doctors of the Church". BTW, MLK was a doctor of (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

This is why he nailed his 95 theses on the church's door there because this door was used as a bill-board for (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)
