  • It's true that Doyle never mentioned it, but it's logical that Holmes would want a place he could duck into for a quick meal; or a nap; or to put on a new disguise. Watson does say that Holmes had bolt holes around London, so it would have been foolish for him not to have a membership.

    I remember reading about his membership in a non canon work.

    If you're a fan look up 'The 7% Solution.' It's available as a novel and a movie; Holmes meets the only doctor capable of curing his cocaine addiction, Sigmund Freud.

  • Now we know how much it costs to make a $2,800 Dior bag
  • Reminds me of an old joke.

    A man is standing on Wall Street. He has a sign that says 'Pencils For Sale." A broker walks up and asks how much for one pencil.

    "$50,000.00"

    "$50 thousand for one pencil? At that price you're not going to sell many."

    "At that price I only need to sell one."

  • Holmes was a mess.

    He was unpopular at school; hung out with the lower classes; used cocaine; once shot the letters 'V R' into his living room wall; was a member of a club where no member was supposed to speak to another; only survived as long as he did because his brother was a major government official.

  • At Fossil Butte National Monument, in Wyoming, restrooms are decorated with coprolites, which is prehistoric fossilized poop from 52 million years ago, found in the area.
  • I understand how fossils work, but I assumed that scat would be more likely to break down compared with flesh and bone. If you see scat in the woods it's usually gone by the next day. otoh, if it were placed before a massive dust cloud landed, I guess that the lack of oxygen would slow the process.

  • Context
  • I've heard of Newsom. I don't know who this guy is, and apparently he's not interested in the job. Both Sanders and Clinton have come out in favor of Biden. But I'll make you a deal. If someone with a reasonable chance pops up, I'll vote for them, if you promise to vote for Biden. Deal?

  • What's stopping him?
  • First day of the next Supreme Court term is the first Monday in October, well before election day.

    Let's have Biden call for a giant mob to show up in Washington and have them raid the place. He can promise to keep the police away, and sign a blanket pardon for all acts.

    See how fast the Congress changes that law.
