NBC News' Stone Philips strayed off the path of hard-hitting investigative journalism long enough to explore the secrets of the Da Vinci Code.
For those of you who may have been living under a rock for a couple of years now, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown explores some heretical theories about Jesus Christ. The bulk of Mr. Brown's research comes from Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a book published by three British "investigative" journalists back in the Eighties. Here's one website that neatly summarizes the debunking of HB,HG. I won't claim it is the best, but it's a quick read.
Most of the books that do the best job of poking holes in the highly dubious factual claims of HB, HG are in French. They weren't deemed to have sufficient commercial interest to the American public to warrant translation.
If you crave more on this particularly popular trend in weirdness, don't worry. I'm sure we'll get back to it.
