Da Vinci Code cracked

Dan Brown has got Christians scrutinizing Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, which isn't a bad thing if you don't take Dan's hokum seriously. But some Christians are in a tizzy about it. Did Jesus fake his own death and live happily ever after with one of his disciples, who was a woman in disguise? Coxsoft Art has scoured the Web for the best images of the famous fresco to crack this code. Fact: there are 12 disciples in the picture. Fact: the alleged woman is John, according to an old copy of The Last Supper in Ponte Capriasca which is labelled with the disciples' names. Fact: the "Mysterious hand holding knife" on Dan Brown's website is John's, which gives him an expansive reach for a woman. I've combined three images for comparison: pre-restoration, post-restoration and a 16th century copy. What I found is a progressive feminization of John. The image on the left is badly deteriorated, but looks to me as though John has a light brown beard. The middle picture shows him clean shaven and girlie in a youthful way. The third image shows John completely feminized and wearing enough mascara to be kicked out of the Boy Scouts (if scout masters are allowed to be politically incorrect nowadays). So, through iffy restoration and artistic beautification, John has been turned into a woman. To be fair to Dan, he is right to have pointed this out.
