The Da Vinci Quiz
Between June of 2004 and June of 2005, Dan Brown made $76.5 million in royalties on his bestseller The Da Vinci Code. With that kind of money, he could probably get an extreme makeover and look just like the Mona Lisa. Or not, because that would not only diminish his chances of getting on Good Morning America, it'd also just be scary. At any rate, Brown owes much of his success to the fascination we have for some of history's greats: Leonardo da Vinci and Jesus Christ.
