The term “Transylvanian Lutheran” might bring to mind someone who drinks their beer through fangs, but Barb the Evil Genius delivers one of the good guys, Johannus Honterus, in the fifty-third edition of the Lutheran Carnival.
Thanks, Barb, for delivering us a nice-sized Carnival with lots of entries!
The world’s oldest “profession” is to be stricken from the laws of Britian, if the Justice Ministry gets its way.
