Da Vinci decoded for travelers

Now you too can follow in the steps of Dan Brown's symbologist hero Robert Langdon, star of

The Da Vinci Code

. And you don't even have to grown your own mullet—

a la Tom Hanks

—to do so. That's because guidebook publisher Fodor's is set to release its own

Guide to the Da Vinci Code

later this month.

You may think this is a completely, utterly, totally ridiculous (though probably very profitable) publishing proposition. And you'd be right. Then again, at $15 the book is still about $460

cheaper

than

hiring your own Da Vinci Code guide

to show you around Paris.

Whatever happened to traveling as a way to see, you know,

real

stuff?
