"Windmills DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!"

Dan Brown is not known for the quality of his research, but crucially, it's only when he writes of something you have personal knowledge of that you realise this. I'm not that big on early religion. medieval symbolism, Masonic history, particle physics, etc, so I will happily swallow all that. However Chapter 44 of Angels & Demons takes place at The BBC, putting me in a position to question its factual accuracy with some authority. —Punt, Dennis and Holmes, The Now Show Book of World Records.
