Baron Lutz Experiments With Contrasting Leg Treatments
The late Baron Lutz, former prime minister of Bavaria, wounded in both legs, had Doctor A treat his right leg and Doctor B his left while hiding the other wound. Each doctor used a different method, yet both wounds healed at about the same time. The baron later amused himself by asking the doctors to explain their approaches.

Graceless Children and the French Preacher Minot
The 1518 Paris death of Michael Minot is noted for his swift shifts from humor to pathos in sermons. He warned that strict enforcement would leave two thirds of the empire in stocks, and he railed at neglect of aged parents, comparing it to trees whose leaves flourish but whose roots have failed. He urged care for parents who raised and supported them.
