In which things of a most elementary nature are discussed
Happy 2005! In honor of the new year, we look back (of course) to the ultimate logician, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
Despite his prowess as a violinist, most people think of Sherlock Holmes in a literary, not auditory, sense. However, this impressive collection of radio shows in mp3 format may change readers' minds. And if that doesn't succeed, there's always the new Holmes musical (?!?), The Baskerville Beast.
Meanwhile, the leading expert on Holmesiana is dead...and some say that his death is a suicide, carefully crafted to look like a homicide. Would that Holmes could investigate the crime scene!
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle worried, for good reason, that his creation of Holmes would erase his previous work and interests. However, the manuscript of Doyle's unpublished first novel, The Narrative of John Smith, along with assorted other miscellania, can be seen at the British Library until the end of January.
Doyle was fascinated with the supernatural, unlike his alter ego, but both men might have been intrigued by this working psychic table. A grid heats up under the seeker's hand while the question is asked, which makes it even more spooky -- and a little like a gom jabbar, too.
