本当かな？とも思うのですが、ダ・ヴィンチ・コードに出てくる実在の人物２７人中のうち、１人の例外を除いてみんなが親戚なんだって！ 世代ごとの家族のつながりを、記録された歴史を情報源として電子的につなげていって解析すると、そんなことが分かるそうです。（といっても可能性らしいですが）
しかもこの例外というのが「トム・ハンクス」というオチで、だったら本来の登場人物達はみんなに当てはまるってことですしね。どこまでが妥当なのか分からないんですが・・・？
実際に、そのつながりの内容がリリースされるそうです。でも、ビル・ゲイツやディズニーというのはどうでしょう？（怪しい） そのサイトは以下の通り。

Da Vinci Code Supplements Released
Kamuela, HI Monday, September 19, 2005
Da Vinci Code fans and critics alike will be surprised if not flabbergasted to discover the mystifying and highly interconnected web of generation-by-generation family ties (according to fully sourced recorded history) that actually connects most of the real people in Dan Brown’s phenomenal best-seller “The Da Vinci Code” to each other as relatives.
After tens of thousands of hours have been spent digitally connecting the dots of thousands of years of ancestral history according to where the experts say they should be connected, the computer was asked to analyze the results to identify the pictures that appear.
A virtually limitless number of surprising and counterintuitive reports can emerge, including these 27 Da Vinci Code supplements which Millisecond Publishing Company, Inc. has released today at www.familyforest.com/Da_Vinci_Code.html.
All of the historical figures who are the subjects of these 27 Family Forest® Kinship Reports, with only one exception, can be found in Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code.”
The one exception is the world famous Oscar-winning Hollywood actor Tom Hanks who will be portraying Harvard professor Robert Langdon in the upcoming Ron Howard directed Sony Pictures film about “The Da Vinci Code.”
