Link didn't work for me. But since you mentioned that some letters are
left unused I removed the "dr" in front of "soup". So, I got a picture
of a soup. It doesn?t look that bad to me, lots of leek but I like it.
Are there goat's testicles there or what is it that you don't like about
the said dish?
And how is this related to ducks or mice? Please explain, I am not
getting it...

When the link to the picture S?ren posted actually worked, it showed a
plate (I think that's the word even for those you eat soup from?) of this
soup, and next to it he had picked out from the soup (I think) and
arranged in that order the letters D, O, N, R, O, S and A.
Hm ... darn you, S?ren, now you got me thinking of making Don Rosa
anagrams. :-)

OLAF + KAI:
I guess I owe all of you an apology by sending that picture to public
view here on DCML--I found it funny at first, but removed it again,
since it is (and was) completely off-topic.
The picture itself was a still life "setup" with alfabeto soup and a
("by chance") display of small pasta pieces (from brilliant De Cecco)
forming "DON ROSA". For some reason the combination of hot spicy soup
and eatable letters made me think of Don.
> Hm ... darn you, S?ren, now you got me thinking of making Don Rosa
> anagrams. :-)
Heh! I guess one can think of plenty. 'nough said :-)
And Kai, the apparant amount of leeks is due to the fact, that I added
that vegetable just before serving the lot.
Bon appetit in your reading.

Speaking as a mason, my take on it is that I can't see Scrooge
joining a lodge either. He doesn't seem to care about giving money
to charity causes, nor in helping people; he's not interested in
social dinners, nor in having "guy" friends to hang out with.
BUT
I can certainly see him hijacking the Declaration of Independence to

Hi,
Since you are a mason what would you say is the general opnion among masons
about the use of your organization in such movies as National Treasure and
Don Rosa stories, Don Rosa stories don't actually mention Masons but it
mentions the Knights Templar which is related to Masonry, And the movie
Really doesn't say anything negative about Masons

Maybe I'm not looking at this from the right perspective, but it's probably
doubtful that any of the writer(s) of National Treasure had read a Don Rosa
story and derived inspiration/plagarised, etc. When I saw the film, I didn't
think "They lifted Don's plots!!" The plot didn't seem any different from other
conspiracy theories people come up with, just maybe a theory with a bit more
imagination and coincidence. It's not like Don invented the genre (what the genre
is, I'm not sure. Consipracy plots, ancient history coming into play in
modern life in weird ways genre, whatever you want to call those types of stories).
So if there are any similiarites, it can probably be chalked up to writers
simply writing types of stories that are in a certain vein, therefore making it
look like one was inspired by the earlier story. So I don't think there's any
connection as far as Don's stories and the movie are concerned.

Well, the movie came from Walt Disney pictures. In the case of plagiarism is hard difficult Don would make something (I mean... is America ). Remind me of that movie "inspired" in the Grant Morrison's comics The Invisibles... How sued a movie from Warner Bros. if Warner is too the owner of DC Comics, the publisher of The Invisibles? No way.

Plot Summary for
National Treasure (2004)
Benjamin Franklin Gates descends from a family of treasure-seekers who've all hunted for the same thing: a war chest hidden by the Founding Fathers after the Revolutionary War. Ben's close to discovering its whereabouts, as is his competition, but the FBI is also hip to the hunt.
Summary written by IMDb Editors
Since childhood, Benjamin Franklin Gates has known that he is decended from a long line of people whose job is to guard a treasure hidden by the Founding Fathers, who hid clues to its whereabouts in the country's currency and on the back of the Declaration of Independence. Now, he has learned of a plot to steal the Declaration, and has only one option: steal it himself. Even if he pulls off this monumental task, keeping the treasure safe is still going to be incredibly hard, especially since the FBI has also gotten wind of the scheme.

As much as I like Don Rosa, knowing the way Hollywood thinks, I would
propose that it's much more likely that "National Treasure" was
inspired by the enormous popularity of "The DaVinci Code" novel. As
far as the Freemasonry/American History conspiracy stuff, I think
that probably started with Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatis trilogy.
Back on topic, I'd like to see Don Rosa re-do National Treasure as a
$crooge adventure. Naturally, this would mean completely scrapping
and re-writing it with at least a modicum of historical accuracy..
