leslauber: Luther, while hiding out at the Castle Wartburg to avoid the death sentence imposed by the edict issued at the Diet, began translating the Bible into German.

skelebone: Hmm.. seems like I've heard of the Concord of Worms, but not the Diet of Worms? Was that covered in the book "How to Eat Fried Worms"?
CortexBomb: Luther effectively began the Protestant reformation as a movement there. Prior to that he had been under the impression that his theses would lead to possible reform of the church. When he was expunged from the church at Worms, his movement diverged more rapidly with Catholocism and the split as we understand it became nigh inevitable.
Spielfreak: Oh c'mon, any birdbrain could answer that one...
Thedalek: It's something Russian military used to require of their training soldiers, to demonstrate dedication to service and field survival skills.
jttm: We used to eat them?
Lord_Prussian: It has to do with the Reformation and Luther and the Papacy somehow. That fully taxes my knowledge of it.
