What pisses me off about the Da Vinci code was the way it was appalingly researched. His theories were complete crap to begin with. The theory that St. John (I believe that is the disciple in question) was really Mary Magdeline because Leonardo painted him to look anandrodgenous is ridiculous. It was common practice in the Renaissance to paint St John in an effeminate nature. Dan Brown probably had this pointed out to him, but wanted to sell his book.
