Oh, come on, it was *loads* of fun, and probably not a bad thing to read before rewatching the second and third Matrix movies. It does a pretty good job of capturing the essence of the Merovingian way of looking at things, which was a metaphor the Wachowski brothers used both blatantly and not-so-blatantly in all three of the Matrix films. Speaking of lovely bits of whacknoodlery, has anyone read _Hidden Stories of the Childhood of Jesus_ or _Hidden Politics of the Crucifixion_, wherein author Glenn Kimball claims, among other things, that Jesus and Pilate attended the same Druid University? Whacknoodlery indeed. Or is it. ;-) I found out about these books four or five years ago when I heard the author on Coast to Coast with Art Bell (on a night Bell was not hosting, as I recall). Make of that what you will. Reggie Bautista _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
