**Martin Luther And The Reformation**
Whilst reading a book concerned with the field of psychoanalysis, I came across a fact that I did not know. Martin Luther, the German theologian who launched the Reformation in the 16th century, suffered from chronic constipation. It is said that he received inspiration for the ideas behind the Reformation whilst in the 'sewer'.

@bibliolater maybe that's just a coincidence but maybe it's a thing worth keeping in mind ...
