The Diet Code: Revolutionary Weight Loss Secrets from Da Vinci and the Golden Ratio
Is this the final sign that all of this “Da Vinci” non-sense has finally run its course?

This DaVinci Code crap went too far several years ago. Then it became sad, then pathetic. I don’t know what the hell it is now.
Someone tried the diet then.
(stops convulsing)
Now it’s sunk even lower…it’s a whole new level of marketing.
Come to DaVinciCodeLand and ride the Opus Dei Devil Drop!
Come eat at DaVinci Burger, where the ratio of bun diameter to burger diameter is always the (echo)Golden Ratio!
That time of the month? Use Davinci Code Mona Lisa Maxipads! What’s she grinning about? What’s she hiding? I’ll bet you can guess!

^ I think I just walked into a Pentecostal service. Lots of convulsing going on here. :eek:
(blinks three times)
A church in Stillwater has a little sign that stated this past Sunday’s Sermon:
Of course, people in glass houses…
Just today I was in the checkout line at the grocery store, and the cover on one of the womens’ magazines shouted out, “Lose a pound a day with the DaVinci Code Diet.” I almost lost it right there.
If by “it” you mean “your cookies,” you should have done so. That’s how the diet works, silly!

(convulses too, just to fit in)
What would a Da Vinci Code diet be? Someone is going to have to sacrifice themselves and take a look inside this book and tell us just how anything from the book applies to dietary advice. I really can’t imagine how that would work.
If the Da Vinci Code Diet is so great, why have I never seen Tom Hanks look heavier?
Some people claim the phi and Finbonacci numbers can be used to maximize your earnings trading stocks. There’s probably a “Code” for whatever numerlogical poppycock you like.
Not sure how phi is supposed to help my diet, though. Maybe if I adjust my portions to produce a Fibonacci series (imagine a cake, and each night you eat a golden rectangle, until it is gone) I’ll get thinner, I dunno…
Ah, but you people are missing the truly sublime effect that is Americana. Grab hold of a popular idea and flog it for every last cent til it’s infused in every part of people’s lives and people have long since stopped caring, have in fact started loathing the very sight of the thing, and you are now losing money on it.
That there’s what we call “DaVinci Marketing.”
Ah, yes. Included in the marketing kit are all the History Channel, Biography Channel, ABC Special Reports (made that one up, but I’m sure it’s probably out there), etc., specials on “what’s factual” and “what’s fictional” about the book and movie.
Every gosh-darned day. At least 3 channels at a time. Some show is there to prove or debunk the book and movie.
ARRRGHHH! Shut up already! It wasn’t all that great a book to begin with! :smack:
If that’s the way it works, I’d probably lose weight. If I had to calculate a bunch of number sequences accurately and then get the portions geometrically correct just to have a meal, I’d probably never eat.
Maybe I’ll just try all the convulsing going on in this thread. At least I’d get some exercise.
(bolding mine.)
Eh. Sounds reasonable enough. But the DaVinci Code tie-in is annoying as fuck.
I think Da Vinci was a little too fond of sausage for my taste. I’ll skip it.
