From "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life", Mister Blackitt, a devout Protestant, rails against the Catholics over-populating his town:

"When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in fifteen-seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but four hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas..."

I'd never heard a penis referred to as a 'John Thomas' before or since, and thought it must be some English thing. Now I wonder if Christadelphianism's John Thomas is who they were talking about.

Yes, it's an English thing. "Lady Jane" is the euphemism for the female part. In fact, the original title of D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterly's Lover was "John Thomas and Lady Jane."

Great connection. That CANNOT be just a coincidence.
