  1. Wittweenberg?

  2. Yes, you can’t ‘buy’ yourself forgiveness. “How brazenly stuck up” of them. Sorry that bubble doesn’t fit.

  3. Gary: I think “stuck up” was meant in the mack-tack sense, not the snobby sense.

  4. @Jimmy - I think it’s meant in both senses, actually, with one of the listed subgroups applied to either meaning.

  5. Wow - What a correlation. Gave me pause. Made me stop and think for a few. Really impressed with this and with the comments here.

    My thoughts on the “brazenly stuck up” question? I think that Luther was brazenly stuck up about his beliefs. He could no longer live with the status quo and was quite stuck on the belief that change was needed. I, for one, am glad he was!

    Just my two cents… take or leave as desired.

  6. Am I the only one reading “stuck up” as stuck to the church doors?

  7. @Noah: No, that’s how I’m sure it’s intended.

  8. @Chaz

    That’s what I thought too. I think the dual meaning of “stuck up” is part of the message.

    I like this card. =)

  9. LOL

    Took me a quick visit to Wikipedia, but I get it.

    Funny stuff here.

  10. Agreed. Stuck up refers to the actual posting on the church doors in the case of Luther, and alternatively the attitudes of the children. Nice double meaning.

  11. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Thanks, that made my day.

    Minor quibble: though the popular depiction of the 95 Theses today is that Luther tacked them up on a church door as a profane act of defiance, in fact his act was, at the time, no more controversial than submitting a paper to a scholarly journal today. At the time, if you had a scholarly subject you wished to debate publicly, you posted a sort of abstract in a public forum, and the most popular public forum was the church door. Odds are, he had to remove a few other debate postings to make enough room to add his.

    While the topics were indeed controversial, that’s sort of the point of a debate. You don’t post stuff everybody already agrees about. The real brazen stuff came later, though.

    Still, very funny. ;-)
