Conspiracy theory checklist

[venta]

I'm reading "The Search for the Grail", a book which could well contain a lot of rubbish.

So far, the checklist for conspiracy theory goes as follows:

Page 2 - First mention of King Arthur (since it's on the grail, I'm prepared to cut them a certain amount of slack there...)
Page 4 - first occurrence of the phrase "seems too close a comparison to be mere coincidence"
Page 4 - First mention of Kinghts Templar (Hurray!)
Page 7 - First citing of Geoffrey of Monmouth in support of a theory
Page 13 - First occurrence of 2 consecutive paragraphs blatantly contradicting each other (always a good sign, this)

Plus, of course, the usual crop of arguments ex silentia and leaps of deduction.

Looking good so far :)

I do: I read it a long time ago, and can't remember much. I believe my copy is currently in Amanda Rick and Conall's bathroom. I have a feeling he decided Shakespeare was a spy, like Marlow, and that's why there's not much evidence about him.
