I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.

We can't
Provide you
With a date
But we do supply
The best darn bait

Martin Luther
1483 - 1546
German Reformer

Luther led the Protestant Reformation in Germany and he became the first great figure of Protestantism. He preached the revolutionary idea that salvation could not be attained through priests or donations but only through faith.

Luther was born in Eisleben, Germany. He spent three years in a monastery and was ordained in 1507. After a visit to Rome he was angered by the sale of indulgences and in 1517 he drew up 95 theses on indulgences, which he nailed on the church door at Wittenberg.

He was summoned to Rome to defend his theses, but refused to go. At a disputation in Leipzig (1519) Luther denied papal primacy, the tradition of the church and the infallibility of councils. After his break with Rome an order for the destruction of his books was issued. In 1521 he was summoned to appear before the Diet at Worms, and was put under the ban of the Empire by Charles V.

Granted refuge by Frederick the Wise at the Wartburg Luther made a great contribution to German literature with his translation of the Bible, which introduced the 'High' German of modern times. Luther also wrote many commentaries on Scripture, theology and ecclesiastical abuses.

You hear me calling to you, beckoning with my shrill voice;
My keys will carry you to the place of your choice.
What am I?



  • Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which a person can die.
  • Don't upset me.. I'm running out of places to hide the bodies.
  • I'm not afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens.
  • Death is a part of life. It's just a lot less scary and painful than the rest of it.
  • I can't live with death; he's always leaving the toilet seat up.



    • Behold the child, by Nature's kindly law pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.



    Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
