[TheForge] YAK Solid Platinum Anvil and Dan Brown

[mrscherm at aol.com]

Wrong novels, this was from Digital Fortress and the missing ring, not 
the sound, but a ring for your finger, which was made of platinum (not 
noted in the story line). I met Dan Brown about a year ago at a lecture 
in Concord, NH. You also being a fan of his will be interested in his 
comments; when asked about the controversy caused by the Mary Magdalene 
being Jesus wife part, he said that the original version of the DaVinci 
Code was written using the more popular theory presently held by 
religious historians, that being that he survived the crucifixion and 
went on to have a life in Greece with his wife Mary Magdalene. The one 
about her being his wife, and pregnant at the time of his death is the 
second most popular belief, but thought that the Church would never let 
him get away telling it that way.

Yeah, but how do the vatican, DaVinci, ancient religions and CERN fit 
in?

It is I who formed the blacksmith,
who fans the flame into a fire and
fashions a weapon fit for it's work.
