watched The DaVinci Code last night, watched the seminar on The DaVinci Code today.
main point for today:
Dan Brown has issues.
really big ones.
666 glass plates on the pyramid thingy?
bullsh*t.exact number's 673. =_= evil number? my foot.
Maria Magdalene seated beside Jesus in The Last Supper [by daVinci]?
bullsh*t.it was john, one of Jesus' disciples. artists in renaissance period (e.g. Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, etc) often drew men's faces nearly like a lady's then because of some... reason which i forgot what. =P (i had no paper and pen to take down notes just now) anyway, Dan Brown stupidly claimed that the "lady" beside Jesus in The Last Supper was Mary Magdalene, which is wrong.
many more reasons, actually.
how does he confuse you?he uses a
worldly-recognised name which will have a great impact such as daVinci instead of Leonardo [his first name] cause obviously it will attract readers' attention and Leonardo can just be anybody. it's more of a general name, really.
and he uses
real-life settings which really exist such as the Louver Museum, the place which you definitely have to visit if you ever go to England (it takes 3 months to see all of the paintings there, so just see the ones you want to see... cause of time constraint, for sure XP), and that chapel mentioned in the story (Templar Chapel? i forgot the name of the chapel).
his book is under fiction, really, but he makes people think it's real.
the wonders of a really good author.
with no shame.---
anyway i heard that the seminar today was relayed to 14 cities all over the world, in 8 different countries. cool, eh? XP about 7,000 people watched it. no wonder we had to "book" the place first. it was so full. and this saturday too, at 2 PM, in TVRI channel (indo), the whole seminar will be played again, for those who couldn't make it today, and for the rest of the world (indonesia, actually. lols.) to see.
so when someone asks you, "hey, do you know that Jesus was married to Mary?", just ask back, "do you know that you asking me that just goes to show how dumb you exactly are?"
remember, the truth is in the Bible. =)
God bless.
