The Da Vinci Bomb Fallout - Day Two

A little jaunt through today's news stories:

From the AP: "Director Ron Howard had a suggestion Wednesday for people riled by the way Christian history is depicted in "The Da Vinci Code": If you suspect the movie will upset you, don't go see it."

But dear Ron, if disgrunted Christians don't go see it - who will?

From Rueters: "I'm very happy to believe that Jesus was married," [Ian McKellen] said. "I know the Catholic Church has problems with gay people and I thought this would be absolute proof that Jesus was not gay."

Gandalf, have you been at the longbottom leaf again? Don't answer that.

From Rueters: "Echevarria, the current prelate or head of the group, said he had not read the book because "I don't have time to waste with this kind of novel."

Instead he daily prays for Dan Brown. I'm with him on that one.

From the New York Times: "When a cryptographer and a symbologist get together, it usually ends in tears."

I'd say the same for Ron Howard and 10-cent fiction plots...
