A friend who believed the Da Vinci code said to me.."Just look at the Last Supper....it's a GIRl next to Jesus"!!! Like it was a PHOTOGRAPH!! I had to burst her baloon when I said it was a DRAWING done 1400 years later, he could have drawn them ALL as women if he wanted to!
And kangeroos too

It's odd how seemingly smart people get sucked into that one.
Leonardo sketched that painting prior to painting it and labelled all the figures. The beardless one was labelled as John. He was depicted next to Jesus to portray the moment at the last supper when John was DESCRIBED as sitting next to Jesus.
He was beardless because tradition has John as a young teenager - so he is differentiated from the others in this way.
But none of these DaVinci folks want to let facts get in the way of their conspiracy theory.
