Re: "Da Vinci" Debunking

    "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail", first published in 1982 and the
source of a BBC television program at the time, is preposterous on its face.
However, it is significant that the BBC itself caught on to the fraud seven
or eight years ago and did another program repudiating the first one. The
BBC's second investigation found evidence of forgery in the HBHG
documentation and a want of expertise among the self-proclaimed
experts who wrote the book.

Cheers.

have HBHG, though I haven't picked it up for 10+ years.  It was a hoot.
Very sincere.
