Email: The Duh Vinci Code [AA]

The author [of The Da Vinci Code] is a twit, but an intelligent twit; like the guy who wrote The Celestine Prophecies, he knows how to blend controversial (and untrue) material into a bestseller (largely to people who don't have common sense or a grounding in history or theology). You can see my reviews of the movie and one of the documentaries that debunk it on my movie weblog, Moviette.

I remember the mosquitoes in Colombia: gargantuan compared to the ones in Minnesota (much less Texas), and their bites left quarter-sized thick welts in your arms -- that oozed blood. They're spraying hard against West Nile in [north] Houston now, though.
