Which are rehashes of a Rosicrucian conspiracy theory...which are rehashes of a Knights Templar conspiracy theory...which are rehashes of a much earlier Merovingian conspiracy theory...which end at Jesus Christ. Hmmm...strange...I think we're on to something...
The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail did a damn fine job coming up with a great conspiracy theory that Dan Brown leeched in the same way that David Icke leeches the "research" of others in the paranormal community and repackages it as his own. If I were Dan, I'd feel guilty of taking so many ideas from one source, and would probably feel obligated to give some type of financing back to that which inspired me, but whatever. If you read Holy Blood, Holy Grail, you might understand why the authors would be so bitter after counting the high degree of similarities between the two, and Dan Brown's sales figures would be constantly rubbing salt in the wound. I'd feel something like the first host of American Idol would feel every time he sees a picture of Ryan Seacrest. I'm all for the lawsuit. Even if they lose, they should win something back something in the form of profits garnered from the press coverage.
