everything in
it's right place

So I was watching this show on the tele after coming back from DotA-ing with Jon Ong and friends. It was about the Da Vinci Code, best selling book by Dan Brown that draws on the controversy that Mary Magdelene was married to Jesus and that the Holy Grail was in fact a reference to a holy blood line i.e. family line of Jesus.

In the end, after summarising all the facts against Dan Brown and thereby concluding that Dan Brown's book is really only just a book of fiction, the narrator had this to say: What Dan Brown did with his book was just the same as what Romance authors did nearly 800 years ago - give us a hope in something that we all would want to be true, but in actual fact know can never exist.

And I recited that last line in my head again (and again, and a few more times).

Maybe the script writer should have cut out the second half of the sentence, the 'never exist' part, and then the world would definitely have been a better place.

For me, at least.
