Interesting Tidbits

1. One of Brown's character is Andre Vernet, president of the Depository Bank of Zurich... well, there is a real Andre Vernet and he is the President of the Depository Bank of Zurich.

2. The Temple Church, in London, was built by the Knights Templar (or the Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon) and consecrated (or santified) on 10 February 1185 by Heraclius, Patriarch of Jerusalem.

3. The Last Supper was painted by Leonardo DaVinci. The person seated next to Jesus, on his right, looks more like a woman than a man, yet, it has been proclaimed that that person is John. But given the person feminine appeal, could this be Mary Magdalene and not John?

4. More true facts from The Da Vinci Code can be found here. Furthermore, this website, which should not be read by those who intend to read The Da Vinci Code (because it provides spoilers to the Code), is very detailed and contains fascinating links to websites and literatures that oppose the claims in the Code, as well as those "for" the claims presented in the Code.
