Title: Da Vinci Code trumped by Michelangelo conspiracy buffs

It started with the Da Vinci Code. Now we have the Michelangelo Code. What next? The Giotto Cipher? The Fra Angelico Encryption? The Tracey Emin Enigma? Did every artist who ever picked up a brush have a subliminal, subversive coded message to convey? How far can conspiracy theories command human credulity?

There were you and I thinking the Sistine Chapel ceiling was a masterly artistic exposition of biblical scenes, commissioned by Pope Julius II and executed by Michelangelo to the glory of God. Not so, say Rabbi Benjamin Blech and Roy Doliner, a Vatican tour guide, authors of a book that is already on the New York Times bestseller list, who claim to have detected a whole network of subversive coded messages in Michelangelo's work, including a chav angel giving the Pope the finger.
