Quick story about the DaVinci code... I read it this summer, and after I read the part about phi (1.618) I told Cosmo (aka Lauren VanGenne), a counsellor I worked with this summer about it and we spent a good hour or so measuring ourselves and decided that phi really IS real. Side note: Lauren's from Dawson Creek but I never met her kuz she moved away to the maritimes (where she still lives right now) in elementary, and we met at camp and I knew a bunch of her relatives and old friends even better than she does. Also a strange phenomenon: I'm not sure why but we also decided to measure our height and wingspan, and they're supposed to be the same but mine is wacked out.. I'm 5'7" but my wingspan is 5'10". So I think I got jipped out of an extra 3 inches of height there.
