My favourite, tho not really an 'egg', is Bishop Manuel Aringarosa. The (very rough) translation from the Italian 'Aringa rosa' to English is 'red herring!' Ok, he seems important to the story.. but we find that he is just as manipulated as a number of other characters!

Also, Langdon's publisher is called J. Faukman. The surname is an anagram of J. Kaufman, Brown's own publisher.

If you read the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" - a book by three authors, can't remember their names, its all dan brown's research rolled into one handy book.check it out. My mother read it back in the early ninty's or something and went crazy when the da vinchi code got so popular
