How did the universe begin?

Don't even MENTION Dan Brown. Ughhh that stuck up peice of shit with fuckholes for eyes and penis fingers is the true embodiment of why I hate this country for it's fucked up system of free speech. In the beggining of the book, the disclaimer, or claimer on his part says that all artwork described in the book is fucking realistic to every detail. wHAT THE FUCK! Mary Magdeline was NOT in the picture of the last supper. And what the FUCK does the title mean. 'The Da Vinci Code'.... 'The of Vinci code'???? Da Vinci wasn't a last name, 'Da' means 'of'. And NO WAY IN HELL is there a proffesion called Symbology. Shit, I'd kill that puddle of moose cum in a second, even if it meant my eternal damnation. He's just some fatass who decided to wright a book, Of fiction, Claimed to be Non-fiction. He changed his veiws about it, by the way.

A lot of the Da Vinci Code is based on fact if that was not already said.

I'm not saying it's non fiction, but a lot of the things are real.

"Da Vinci" is what probably all historians and art historians call 'Leonado Da Vinci'. Yes, he was called Leonardo Of Vinci, but it is generally accepted that he is known as 'Da Vinci'. His full name is too long, just calling him Leornardo might work, and just calling him Vinci could get confusing.

Symbology in the way of Langdon's academic profession IS purely fictional, yet there will be people around the world who study Symbols and their meanings. So what would you call them, if not "Symbologists".

I'm not going to argue with The Last Supper. There's so many sites now around either agreeing or disagreeing with it, and the things one can do now with Photoshop, well.

Don't hate the man for writing a book. Before "The Da Vinci Code" he was practically unheard of. I hadn't heard of him, that's for sure. Then I heard about the book on the radio: "Yada yada Catholic Secret yada yada Mary Magdalene" but that didn't catch my attention. What did was "a book so badly written, that you'll love it".

If he hadn't published "The Da Vinci Code", would you still hate him? Well maybe, because there's "Angles and Demons". What about if he hadn't published either, and only had the two books on the market - "Deception Point" and "Digital Fortress". He writes a particular style - the one-man-detective-mysterysolver--being-hunted-by-some-crackpot-world-group, and does it in such a way that there's been so many copies. "Rule of Four", "The Last Templar", whatever, they're all of that style. There are parallels with Franz Ferdinand and suddenyl everyone jumping on their bandwagon -- one person does something right, everyone wants a piece of the action.

Just take his "Claims" with a pinch of salt, and remember that it is a Fiction novel, appearing on the "Fiction" shelf in bookshops. Like him for his writing, not for glaring mistakes, or mad conspiracies.

Oooh, there's something -- it isn't actually HIS work. Well, the book is, but the idea's aren't. He added flesh to the skeletons of Conspiracies that have been circulating the world for over 30 years!
