    Read it and see for yourself.

    Well, it's fiction. A lot of people seem to miss that.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    I picked it up the day it came out on paperback. Good stuff, some of the things are true in it (divine proportion)- but not the "main thing" of course.

    A good story will always have some element of familiarity or reference to give the appearance of truth.

    I can't comment specifically about truths in the Davinci Code as I haven't read it.

    I have read the book, and it's very entertaining.
    Like Frederick Forsyth's novels, there's just enough FACT to make the whole thing more believable.
    Dan Brown's Angels & Demons is a similarly good read.
    There isn't a bargepole long enough for me to work on [a Sony Viao] - clocker 2008
