Mary Magdalen: Musician

I love the "conspiracy theory" idea that seems to crop us every now and then...usually when somebody is running for office or trying to sell a book. I don't think DaVinci would benefit from an Amazon.com box, but this is a cool item nonetheless. It seems as if DaVinci was a dyslexic painter/musician. Of course, you've all heard about it by now...how the bread on the table as wll as the hands and faces of the folks at the Last Supper provide a musical clue to...well, something. Of course, the people who had nothing better to do than figure this out had to read the music from right to left in order for it to make any sense. They also make the claim that this is, of course, how DaVinci used to write anyway. Fortunate for him that he wasn't a novelist but a painter. I'd bet Dan Brown is somewhere behind all of this so in his next book Angels and Musicians he can further expound on this topic.
Here are some subplots I'd like to see:
1. In order for the music to make any sense, the dots on the musical scale have to include Mary Magdalen's breasts in addition to the head and hands of everyone else.

2. This painting is not the original DaVinci work. It was done to throw off the Nazis during WWII. This is actually a lesser-know DaVinci work entitled The Last Brunch.

3. When played left to right, the music is actually "Chopsticks," but when played right to left, it sounds a LOT like Beethoven's 9th Symphony (thus creating yet another book for Dan Brown Thieving From the Masters)

4. When connected with an unbroken line, the dots form the outline of the head of Nostradamus (thus creating yet another Dan Brown work I Knew This Would Happen)

BTW: if you want to listen to the music, follow this link:

Now, who says the arts can't be fun! I'm off to put together my 1,000-piece snoopy jigsaw puzzle.
