~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code is a thriller which
involves a clues hidden in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci.
Or something like that.
Okay, to be honest, I have no idea what the book is
about. All I know is it's popular enough to warrant
publicity-hungry TopFive doing a list about it.
The Top 5 Surprising Facts Found in The Da Vinci Code
- The background of Edvard Munch's "The Scream" is obviously Neverland Ranch.
- Jesus' middle name was Herman.
- Duchamp's original idea for "Nude Descending a Staircase" was squelched by his beloved model when she refused to slide down the handrail wearing only a cowboy hat, boots and spurs.
- In Mondrian's abstract "Composition No. 10," the red square is totally faking it.
and the Number 1 Surprising Fact Found in The Da Vinci Code...
- A race of people with both eyes on the same side of their noses controlled Spain throughout much of the 20th century.
