Westminster Abbey has issued tour guides with information sheets to help them correct the factual errors in the bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code.
Since the abbey - one of London's top tourist attractions - appeared in Dan Brown's controversial book about a US professor who follows a series of clues leading to the Holy Grail, guides have been inundated with questions from curious tourists.

But religious figures have criticised the book for its factual inaccuracies, and the abbey has already refused permission for a film adaptation starring Tom Hanks to be shot on the premises. Lincoln cathedral, however, is reported to have accepted £100,000 for filming to take place there.

1. It's hard to believe

that one little novel could scare the dog shit out of so many Christians.

2. He must have hit too close to home in some sense.

They go to a LOT of trouble to disprove that book. You didn't see this with other books that were popular - like the Exorcist.
