Where’s the beef?
The Grail Blood! 
That’s a very tenuous tie-in- Da Vinci was Italian, so the Da Vinci Diet is a Mediterranean diet? :rolleyes: I was hoping they’d at least managed to work phi into there somehow…
He ain’t heavy, he’s a symbologist.
(convulses)
From what I remember of the book, there was an awful lot of staggering backward in shock/disbelief/horror!, but that seems more like an exercise plan than anything.
Please, Lord, make this Da Vinci nonsense obsession go away.
(convulses so she can be one of the Cool Kids)
I know it’s a stretch, but the puerile 14-year-old in me can’t help but giggle convulsively by misreading that …
I’m only here for the convulsing. Seems like the thing to do, so here I go, convulsing for the team.
On the bright side, it has inspired some to learn more about who Da Vinci really was: one of (if not the) most brilliant, multi-talented, and omnivorous intelligences who ever lived.
But did he convulse?
It’s not phi that makes this diet work, it’s PIE!!!
Known in real life as a “semiotician”.
Sorry. Dan Brown bugs me.
(convulses, attempts to grope other convulsers in the confusion)
Welcome to Uberplex37, would you like a “FibbaNachos” combo for only $9.50. They come in a collectable box shaped like the one in the movie.

They missed a rather “obvious” tie-in with phi (the Golden Ratio).
Leonardo DaVinci and Leonardo Fibonacci.
Now if they could bring Nostradamus, the Loch Ness monster and Roswell, New Mexico into this, the Discovery Channel would have enough material for the next 5 years of programming.
I thank my lucky stars the film’s received poor reviews. Hopefully it will stem the tide of pop culture excesses like:[ul][li]Cookbooks,[/li][li]Breakfast Cereal,[/li][li]Holiday Christmas Specials & Music Albums -and-[/li]A shitload of toys.[/ul]Of course, if the public ignores the critics’ warnings, at least we can all enjoy years of stimulating Cafe Society discussions.
It’s not phi, or pie, it’s pho. That’s why the Vietnamese people are so slender, see?
Oh, bugger, I forgot to do the Da Vinci Code Convulsion in my last post.
There. Done.

What’s sad is I think I’ve got a coworker who’d buy into it. 
If she does, I’ll go into 3.14159 conclusions, interupting the last one to confirm the horror.
But if his intelligence was omnivorous, how did it stick to the diet?
Yeah, I was going to put in a joke about Mona Lisa having a bloody nose…but I do have standards.
