Thanks, ta0 and Iacopo!
There's been a great increase lately in the things I know nothing about. Knew of the good Baron before only WRT the syndrome, but seems he's quite the colorful figure.
And now I
really want one of those tops.
The character has inspired numerous memorials and museums, and several medical conditions and other concepts are named after him, including Munchausen syndrome, the Münchhausen trilemma, and Munchausen numbers.
As for trilemmas, I'm now struggling over whether to have bacon, sausage, or ham for breakfast. What would von Munchhausen have done in a situation like this?
