| Author(s): Nick Galvin |
| Ref: For more help on the meaning of Discordianism (a tautology if ever there was one), check out the entry at the BBC's h2g2 site (www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A258608). Here you'll find Discordians believe: "All things are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true, false, and meaningless in some sense." Glad we've cleared that up. |

| Ref: "The false ideas in The Da Vinci Code may have come from a BBC Internet article on the Knights Templar. This article makes an assertion that is nearly identical to Dan Brown's: 'The Templars devised the modern banking system.' Oddly, this same BBC information site, in an article about banking, clarifies the issue: 'The basic idea of banking, and the typical services offered, can be traced back to medieval times.' The article then states quite clearly, 'Modern banking originated in Europe in the 17th Century'." Footnotes: BBCi, "The Knights Templar", March 13, 2000, www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A272558.
