Or for the dogmaticians among us, the Middle Ages ended shortly before noon, Saturday, October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther drove the fourth nail into the 95 Theses he had posted on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg and tucked his hammer back into his cincture. Sorry I can't be more precise. Best estimates make 11:45 still medieval.
