Does anyone else ever get really amused when they see egrarious errors about their religion in popular fiction?

Someone at work just asked me a question about the Kabbalah, and showed me a page in the latest Dan brown book- which tries to equate the ten sefirot in the Kabbalah to the Ten dimensions of super string theory (his claim- I don't know enough Super string theory to know if thta much is even accurate!) Teh claim is laughable to anyone who knows Kabbalah and what the sefirot actually are, but I find these blatant mistatements about Judaism and its related beliefs fairly frequently in popular fiction- and most of the time amusing.
