There is no character that has fascinated me more than that of Sherlock Holmes. Hats off to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The character is now so well defined in my head that like many others, I would also like to beleive in a thought that he actually existed :). Characteristically, he is defined to be "Unpredictable" and yet, none of his extraordinary actions like the ones in "Adventure of the Dying Detective" look out of place. Many authers write "unjustifiable" things for characters which are defined to be unpredictable, but the actions of Shcerlock Holmes, though being extra-ordinary..are "consistent" with his character. Showing a very extraordinary yet consistent behaviour of a unpredictable character is a real difficult thing, and thats the beauty of Sherlock Holmes misteries that attract me the most.
I tried getting a similar costume on my Yahoo Avtar but it dint work out that well :D:D:D
I wish that I will be able to go to london at least once to visit 221 Baker street and sit in his armchair smoking a (empty :D) pipe wearing the same costume as the great detective himself and do the same thing as they describe
"A ring comes at the bell; a step is heard upon the stair. The drooping eyelids lift, and the nostrils quiver with the thrill of the chase: "Come, Watson come, the game is afoot!"
