We are all familiar with the Christmas song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, well, apparently Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon has discovered that there is hidden Catholic meaning in the song. i.e. The “five golden rings” represents the first five books of the Bible, the “six geese a-laying” is the six days of creation, etc.I thought the 12 days song was really about the Miata, but all I could come up with was 2 seats, 4 cylinders, 5 speeds and 7 thousand RPMs. So amateur symbologists, can you help me decode the hidden Miata messages in the song “Twelve Days of Christmas”?
When I posted the above on the Miata Forum I didn’t get exactly what I was hoping for, but I did get one cute one. Thanks Cinemaniac, it isn’t literally correct, but…
On the 12th day of Mazda, my Miata gave to me:
Twelve turns a-twisting
Eleven pipes exhausting
Ten Lanes a Leaping
Nine Ladies Oogling
Eight Mods a Modding
Seven Drifts a Skidding
Six speed transmisson
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE PISTON RINGS…
Fo-our alloy wheels
Three Drive Belts
Two air horns
And the finger from an S-U-V!
I thought Langdon was a fictional character in the mind of the author Dan Brown. I would like to see this article “written” by Langdon, or is it Brown. I have scoured the web for a actual Robert Langdon , found a fictious home page for him care of Randomhouse/Doubleday, Browns publisher, found a Surgeon in CT, a biologist in Austrailia ( close but no cigar) and a lot about Tom Hanks the actor ( could he be Langdon, I don’t see it) but no actual symbologists.
Please foward any info you have on this as I am very interested on Langdons whereabouts.
Silas.
