Get the Vincze mug.The book that suddenly makes everyone an expert on religion. A realization must be made that the Da Vinci Code is based on things we possibly know, but aren't sure, but quite probably could be true but not really.
Apparently by reading the Da Vinci Code in 2 weeks or so, I know more than historians who have been studying religion for years.

Get the the da vinci code mug.A fictional digest of the notion that Jesus was actually a mortal human who lived and married and made babies and died as people do. The story suggests strongly that the Church usurped Jesus' following by misinterpreting and heavily editing the gospels. The notion is a threat to the Church which bases all its power and influence on the idea that Jesus was magical God being who had no faults and for some reason committed a suicidal sacrifice for the benefit of everyone.

Get the da vinci code mug.Vinci is a town in Tuscany, Italy, and the birthplace of the famous artist Leonardo da Vinci.
It is commonly thought of and used as Leonardo da Vinci's last name. However, Leonardo did not have a last name (as people didn't in those times) and it was simply used as a way of identifying the region where Leonardo came from to distinguish him from other Leonardos.
Knowledgeable/credible historians always refer to the artist as simply "Leonardo" or "Leonardo da Vinci" but never "Da Vinci".

Dan Brown, the author of "The Da Vinci Code", displays his ignorance and lack of credibility by using the term "Da Vinci" in his book to refer to the famous artist, Leonardo da Vinci, as though it was his full name.
