Very cool...

[areafiftyone]

This is fascinating - I wish there were pictures.

[visualops]

Neat-o!

[The G Man]

I wonder if they found any codes in this new stuff.

Dan Brown (DaVinci Code) wrote a lot of facts in his
novel. Like Speilberg's comment about Einstein in "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind," Brown also concludes:
DaVinci "was one of THEM!"

Sort of off-topic, but he's depicted as a sweet, funny and lovable man in the movie "Ever After". I highly recommend it (Cinderella movie).

Too bad they didn't have any pictures. This would of been cool to see.

Very very interesting...

I think I'll wait to see if this is true. If so, it will be in all the papers and across the internet.

Excitement over the Leonardo discoveries was marred by an announcement from the director of the Uffizi, Annamaria Petrioli Tofani, that she was leaving Italy to work in the United States and at the Hermitage gallery in Russia. She is leaving after 41 years at the Uffizi because authorities refused her request to postpone her retirement until the age of 70.

Oh No! I don't beleive it. This is truly a sad day. I am having difficulty enjoying the Leonardo find because this old hag is leaving. sniff sniff. /sarcasm

Leonardo's genius? Well, 'Titanic' made a fortune, but did you see 'The Beach?' Genius? Really, now.

[Yo-Yo]

Hope DaVinci's Lab is better than Al Capone's Vault. Paging Mr. Rivera, white courtsey phone please.

That is so cool! Thanks for posting.

I haven't read the DaVinci Code.. but everything I hear about it makes we NOT want to read it even more.

You know, I've never liked that little DiCaprio puke. Titanic is totally brainless and overrated, and his support of silly enviro-whacko causes shows him to be dumb and gullible. So I really doubt if we have anything to fear from his hidden laboratory. Probably just another meth freak...

:) i don't think its cause she's leaving....It's becasue she's leaving to work in the US and russia.

Oh, I see. That does ruin the whole day, doesn't it?

We gave our God son a gift certificate for a book store for Christmas. In his thank you note he said he was going to buy the DaVinci Code. :-( I told my wife - next time we're buying a book.
