As Sameer has pointed out the canon seems to be in a period of drug
induced stupor,Sherlockians,hurry ,the game is afoot.Professor
Moriarty is waiting,let me conclude my short note.

Sherlock Holmes granted honourary fellowship
LONDON: Victorian supersleuth Sherlock Holmes has
become the first fictional character to be granted an
honourary fellowship by Britain's prestigious Royal
Society of Chemistry.
The pipe-smoking detective, a creation of novelist Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, was honoured in a ceremony on
Wednesday near his famous London address -- 221b Baker
Street.
"What he did was bring scientific methods into
detective work as well as being a good honest cop,"
the society's secretary general David Giachardi told
Reuters.
"He was probably the first truly scientific
detective."
The Society awarded Holmes a medal, which they hung
around the neck of a statue of the detective. The man
chosen to convey the honour was Doctor John Watson, a
present day fellow of the society and namesake of
Holmes' hapless sidekick.
With his pipe, deerstalker hat and razor-sharp
intuition, Holmes became a household favourite
following his debut in Conan Doyle's 1887 novel "A
Study in Scarlet".
Over the next 40 years, he appeared in 60 novels and
short stories, solving dozens of baffling crimes.
In 1893 Conan Doyle killed off Holmes in his story
"The Final Problem", but the detective resurfaced nine
years later in perhaps the best known tale: "The Hound
of the Baskervilles."
The Royal Society of Chemistry, established in 1841,
said the honour was unlikely to be extended to other
fictional detectives.
"Honorary fellows have to be people with distinctions
in chemistry or related scientists, and I don't think
Tintin quite qualifies," Giachardi said.
CONGRATULATIONS to our favorite detective...

Dear Sherlockians (for all American English speaking)
/Holmesians (for all those in the "English" English
speaking part of the world),
What's happening with this board. Sporadic
communication is all what lands up in my mailbox.
Come on, ye followers of the greatest detective, our
minds should abhor stagnation like the great master
himself, oh we need work, abtruse cyrptograms, and the
most intricate analysis - this my dear friends is our
own proper atmosphere.
This lull is just like a dose of a seven percent
solution of cocaine..
Come on people, we can do better than this....
Any suggestions??
Warmest Regards,
Sameer.
P.S. To the master,
To the good Doctor,
To the creator,
And to the only woman... Irene Adler!
Cheers!

We shall discuss the Afghan connection of the master.It was in the Anglo-Afghan
war that Watson sustained a bullet injury in his thigh or was it his shoulder.
The canon is not clear on this
Hi Friends,<br>Hope you've seen the fabulous TV
series on Sherlock Holmes *ing Jeremy Brett as the great
detective. Isn't his portrayal of Holmes great? Anyone of
you have an idea where recordings of this TV series
could be available (in India)?
Which is the adventure of Sherlock holmes do the
members consider the best of them all?Personally,I feel
that the adventure of the speckled band is the
best.The eerie atmosphere,the dramatic denouement in the
end contribute to make a humdinger of an
adventure.Don't you agree?
sumal, a great thing u have come up with. all the
best, bud . whats this weeks topic for discussion ? i
think it would be a good idea to have a topic per week
or say a month which we can discuss threadbare. his
methods , any improvements in his technique, or probably
how he would have solved it in todays scenario, what
with all modern gadgets and all.
