What Hath the Da Vinci Code Wrought?

Even if the "factual" claims in the Da Vinci Code are bogus, the book and accompanying movie have been a boon for tourism. Word comes that the Scottish Rosslyn Chapel, which is supposedly the resting place of Mary Magdalene's body, is experiencing an amazing number of tourist visitations these days. Thus, it seems that the Scottish government is now going to spend 14 million on restoration.

Of course with all the money old Dan Brown has made on this, it would be only appropriate if he helped finance the restoration of all these sites he's now made famous! Especially now that a judge has ruled he didn't plagiarize the work of Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh. Poor Michael and Richard, the popularizer of their pseudo-history didn't suffer for his blind use of their stuff!
