In honour of Melanchthon: Now you see him, now you don’t

Jim West mentions that today is Philipp Melanchthon’s birthday - so in honour of this Protestant Reformer, I present two photos I took last month, of Philipp Melanchthon’s study in Wittenberg.  If you get your mouse-hand ready, you are in for an absolute HOOT!!!  Here’s what to do:

  1. Scroll this page down so that the top picture fits into the screen
  2. Open this same blog page in another tab/page, and scroll so that the bottom picture fits into the screen at the same position
  3. Click between the two pages, and you will see an astonishing effect: MELANCHTHON LOOKS LIKE HE IS APPEARING AND DISAPPEARING BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES!!!!!!

    You’re right, that is the very definition of a hoot! I never knew Melanchthon was so ‘incredibly incredibly good looking’…

    “I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.”
