If you are anything like me I'm a bodybuilder AND a geek. I found the following excerpt from the New Zealand Herald very funny indeed.

Australian officials 'crack' Da Vinci Code

29.03.05 3.20pm

CANBERRA - Australian officials cracked The Da Vinci Code when they discovered illegal drugs hidden inside a copy of the best-selling novel sent to Australia from Britain, Justice Minister Chris Ellison said on Tuesday.

Pages inside the book had been cut out to hide 12 vials of performance-enhancing anabolic steroids, Ellison said. A Sydney man faces two charges of importing prohibited substances and one charge of possessing prohibited imports.

The international blockbuster murder mystery, by US author Dan Brown, follows a Harvard professor as he uncovers a secret about the life of Christ and the clandestine society that had tried to protect it over the ages.

Have any read of Dan Brown's novels? I heard The Da Vinci Code was really good. I purchased the DVD the other day.

I have read the da vinci code it is a good read, a little predictable but a good read non the less.

I'm in the middle of reading the Da Vinci Code now and I'm loving it. Will definitely watch the movie after this and probably move on to Angels and Demons.

What a dopey way to smuggle roids; especially such a paltry amount.
