Want to be confused but entertained some more?

Welcome to the world of the Da Vinci Barcode! An alternate universe in which cash registers ring up Pi million, the Louvre Pyramide is upside down, and priests have been kneeling before the bones of Mary Magdalene for over a thousand years!

Will Robert Longone, Professor of Symbology at Harvard Business School, figure out how to tell the twins Marie and Madeleine Navet apart? Will he find the invisible two-dimensional bull’s-eye barcodes their grandfather, the Director of the Centre Commercial du Louvre, left them before he died?

Keep an eye on the one-eyed hunchback Fibonacci and the revered medical symbologist Linden Teabag.

And if you are hungry for symbols of the Goddess–do you think you need to look very far? To quote the Danish poet and mathematician Piet Hein:

Everything’s either
concave or -vex,
So whatever you dream
will be something with sex.
