Da Vinci in new plagiarism claim

A Russian art historian has accused The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown of plagiarism, just days after a British court rejected a similar claim.

Mikhail Anikin, from St Petersburg, said he would sue Brown if he did not receive an apology and compensation.

He claims Brown stole his idea that Leonardo Da Vinci was also a theologian and his Mona Lisa portrait was an allegory for the Christian Church.

Dan Brown can't catch a break lately. I wonder if people suing him will end up as a "world tour" for Dan. This suit seems like it has as much merit as the last. This is what happens when your book is that successful. Everybody wants a piece. Maybe I should fail a suit claiming I came up with the idea too. Mabye through in a little "he made my coffee too hot" or some other baseless claim hoping he'll just throw a pile of cash on me to make me "go away".
