The creator of Sherlock Holmes was born 148 years ago today (Friday, May 25).
Wow!!! *pies Arthur*
Happy 148th birthday, Mr. Doyle. I sincerely hope that no one does something to make you turn over in your grave, becayse,*pies Arthur Conan Doyle*
Happy birthday, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! Or maybe it’s not happy, considering you’re dead . . .
And now a little factoid or two.
Arthur Conan Doyle (from now on abbreviated to ACD, when we’re not wishing him happy birthday) got so sick of writing Sherlock Holmes stories that he killed him off. When he did so, he was called a murderer, and many citizens went into mourning.
Happy birthday, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! I’m actually in the middle of a book of Sherlock Holmes stories. His charachters are just fascinating. He based Sherlock Holmes off a proffesor at the medical school he went to, Dr. Joseph Bell, who could diagnose a patient at a glance. Amazing.
3- Yes, and because of that he “brought him back.”
Happy *belated* birthday!
My favorite Sherlock Holmes story is “Sherlock Holmes and the Red-headed League” At least I think that’s what it’s called…
WOW. Only 6 posts in the first 2 days. Where is everybody?
Happy birthday A Doyle!
6- I have no idea. Are we not all SACD fans?
Maybe people know Sherlock Holmes but not the name of the guy who created him.
I have all these sherlock holmes stories on CD. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle rocks
He must be like 200 years old, but he rox anyway
Welcome newbies rabbity24 and latin girl!! *pies with shaving cream pie* And that is NOT editable… lol even though my puns suck. *pies again anyway*
Welcome rabbity24 and latin girl! *pies*
I wondered if you were new, rabbity24, but I’m not exactly old and I thought you may be returning . . . I apologize for not pieing you on Books in Progress.
You know, “pieing” is acknowledged as a word. Weird.
PIES WITH HUGE ICE CREAM PIES YEA W00T!!!!!!!!!!
“coolie”, if that’s a word. I hope those cooled ‘ya off!
Welcome! You might want to visit the Welcome, Newcomers! thread for some tips, and of course take a glance at The Rules and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Museblog. From there, just find a thread you like and start posting. Try to stay on topic, and I’m sure you’ll be fine. Good Luck, and I really must get back to my chemistry flashcards…
WELCOME *pies*
*pies rabbity24 and latin girl*
Welcome!
*pies again*
I’ve always liked the Sherlock Holmes stroies.
10- Actually 148. Not too far off though.
Wow! Alice I am pretty new. I just got my first muse issue last year and I heard about Muse blog less than 3 months ago in Muse mail
I have no idea where everyone is. I love Sherlock Holmes. I just finished a paper on how the characters of Monk and House (from the T.V. shows Monk and House) are really Sherlock Holmes. Does anyone else have any thoughts?
5-We are studing Sherlock Holmes in reading class and we read that story and saw the movie. We also read The Case of the Speckeled Band, which gives me the shivers…
Oh yeah, and… *pies arthur with cement, whipped cream, and caviar pie* Happy B-Day!!!!
20- You are new! *pies*
20- Monk, probably. House, duh. You wrote a paper on it? BTW, what do you mean “I have no idea where everyone is?”
I had to find The Return of Sherlock Holmes online because my library didn’t have it (really, what kind of library doesn’t carry the Sherlock Holmes stories) and I couldn’t leave Watson thinking Holmes was dead (I knew he wasn’t, of course, but still).
21-I was on briefly about a year ago, but now I am here to stay! *pies with cherry, liver, and artichoke pie*
22- Trust, me it was not my topic of choice-I would much rather write a real detective story, but it was required. I said that because there are only 22 posts-all the other threads have more. What does BTW mean?
23- Well, since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s birthday is over, it makes sense there would be fewer posts than other threads which have wider ranges of discussion. “BTW” is an abbreviation for “by-the-way”
Cherry, liver, and artichoke? Ew.
23- BTW is an acronym for by the way.
23- dont worry I just learned that this year!
24) I like to think of ummm……different pies. *pies with marmalade, root beer, and mashed potato pie*
