Holy Vandals, Holy Grail

Holy Vandals, Holy Grail 05/21/2004 11:17 AM
An historic monument in central England that may hold the key to the location of the Holy Grail was damaged by vandals on Tuesday. The BBC reports that "a gang of youths climbed on top of The Shepherd's Monument at Shugborough Hall" and started smashing away.

"The Shepherd's Monument is of international importance, both as a work of art and because of the legend that a baffling inscription on the monument provides clues to the true location of the Holy Grail," said the home's general manager Richard Kemp.

Interestingly, the vandalism came on the heels of a visit by former code-breakers from War II intent on cracking the 10-letter puzzle. The Shepherd's Monument is discussed in depth in the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, inspiration for The Da Vinci Code. Link to a National Public Radio piece about the code-breakers. Li nk to the BBC story on the vandalism. (Thanks, Kev!)

Holy Bestseller, Holy Sequel

Holy Bestseller, Holy Sequel 05/20/2004 11:37 AM
The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown says he considered including another theory in the book that would have inflamed Christians even more than the notion that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and made babies. What if Jesus survived the crucifixion? According to this AP Article, "Brown said the theory is backed by a number of 'very credible sources,' but that he ultimately decided it was too flimsy." I'm burned out on the whole Holy Blood, Holy Grail trip though. Brown's next book, set in Washington, revolves around the Masons! Apparently, the dust jacket of The Da Vinci Code contains a clue about the sequel. Link

Swiss Army iPod

Swiss Army iPod 10/28/2003 11:08 PM
Apple are currently marketing some clever add-ons for the iPod. Belkin have produced a clever media reader, called the er.. Belkin Media Reader. The device allows you to transfer files from memory cards to your iPod. At 90 it's priced a bit steep, but if you're out and about taking lots of high res digital snaps, you'd easily spend more on a couple of 256MB memory cards. Other interesting add-ons include the Belkin Voice Recorder and the Belkin FireWire Battery. I also have it on good word that Griffi n Technology's iFM will be shipping at the end of the month. It's a bummer that the iTrip is not available in the UK, but I'm looking forward to having a good quality FM radio with the iPod.
