Sherlock's Fun Facts and Trivia

[Van Buren Supernova]

I know one of it has to be manufacturing based on their products. Not sure about the rest. Wait..this is an American company, the reason you ask... hmm.. any chance they come from your state?

 

Update: just saw the Elsa Frozen Head! How did i missed it

[Arcadia]

Why is that post-it on a Christmas card?

 

And good guess about Camper's state! Did you know that 3M started  by, erm, digging stuff out of the ground? ;)

[SherlockedCAMPer]

I did, but I live about 45 minutes from the headquarters or is it an hour (I forget which city the HQ is in but it has more than 1 office building in the Twin Cities and I've been by the 2 main ones).

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Can we have an episode where 221B seems to have been caught in a post-it explosion because of one of Sherlock's cases?

[Van Buren Supernova]

I tried to find screenshot with Sherlock's wall with Post Its, but apparently he doesn't use it, at least from the episode I checked, TEH and TSOT, but maybe I missed it too because I didn't have a lot of time for this write up.

[Van Buren Supernova]

Mycroft is sweet too, look what he got for his little brother, according to John.

[Arcadia]

I have to agree that Sherlock's taste in wall décor leaves a little to be desired.... :d

[Van Buren Supernova]

Pstt... I think you have to whisper.

 

[Giantwhisper]I deduce that he is looking for any excuse to test it on anyone.[/giantwhisper]

[Arcadia]

He has supernatural hearing, you know.

[Carol the Dabbler]

He has supernatural hearing, you know.

Something like his great-great-great (etc.) grandnephew Spock.

[Van Buren Supernova]

Is it Canon? That Sherlock has super hearing? I don't remember any indication of that for our Sherlock, does he too?

[Van Buren Supernova]

There are a lot of interesting skyline in London, seen in Sherlock as well, some of them are very well-known in architectural world.

 

However, it doesn't mean that they are not associated with funny nick names.

 

Please meet The Gherkin. (Real name 30 St Mary Axe)

 

 

 

 

As bonus, please meet the friend of The Gherkin, as seen on the right side of it, the Can of Ham.

 

 

I let you guys have fun yourself in google world, there are also Cheesegrater, Pringle (from potato chip brand), Armadillo, Walkie-Talkie buildings out there.

[Shadow Dweller]

*snickers* One of them looks like the result of the makeover of a gigantic missile shell.

[Van Buren Supernova]

No price for guessing which one.! :p

On 31st August 2014, 443 Sherlock fans turned up and dressed like him to break the World's Record.

All funds reaised were donated to Leeds Teaching Hospitals to contribute towards a new Yorkshire Brain Research Center.

 

Steven Moffat and Sue Virtue donated a script signed by all casts for best-dressed attendee.

 

[Arcadia]

I want that script....

[Carol the Dabbler]

I want that script....

 

 

I want all of 'em!  (Would gladly pay a reasonable price.)  Seems like they could publish each series in a bound volume.

[Arcadia]

All of 'em, any of 'em, bits and pieces of 'em ... buy, borrow, steal 'em ... just want to see 'em!

[Van Buren Supernova]

I will buy that.

[giantwhisper]Pssst...if you steal'em, can you share?[/giantwhisper]

 

I think they give us no choice guys. There is no way we will win something like that, they don't publish it, so I come to conclusion, we, indeed, have to steal them.

 

*proud with conclusion*

[Arcadia]

I will share them with whoever bails me out of jail. :d

[Van Buren Supernova]

I will share them with whoever bails me out of jail. :d

Aiz.. Whuatt.. no no no.. listen, young lady, a wise man (fictional or not) once said "If you want to do something wrong, do it right."

 

Why are you expecting to get caught? No no, it has to be plotted exactly that you won't get caught, and once you take the risk, don't take it half way, aim for S4 and S5 scripts!

 

Bail you out, hmmm hmm.. what would I want to do that if you are so careless? I think it's better that I get rid the evidence (scripts) from you so they would release due to lack of evidences. Sounds good? Yes. Pass me the scripts when you get them. And call me when you are out.

[Van Buren Supernova]

Exact pint of blood, using the rental car of the very same man who provides scam service are not the brightest things an insurance scammer like Ian Monkford would do. However, it's still smarter than some of the most appalling insurance scam cases that involves fake deaths.

 

 

From finger print on death certificate, continues to stay active using own real 'supposedly dead person' identity, and (not limited to) this one:

 

With support of his wife, Clayton Wayne Daniels tried to escape sexual assault charges by faking his death, at the same time wanting to score good amount of money, too bad (or not), they are quite idiotic not very smart.

 

After taking a life insurance, together with his wife, the couple dug a graveyard to look for a body. Fake death=real body, it's a foolproof plan. They dressed the corpse in Clayton's clothing, put it in the car and lauched it over the cliff. When there was no intended explosion, they climbed down and set the car on fire manually.

 

Beside no evidences or marks that the car lost control, the investigator also found that the hottest point of the fire was on driver seat, set with lighter fluid, they also found various researches on the couple's computer, such as how to burn a body, fake documents etc.

 

If that sounds like standard negligence in plotting, consider this: instead of laying low and disappeared, the 'dead' husband dyed his hair, grew a mustache, went back home few weeks later and introduced himself to their 4-years old son and neighbors as the wife's new boyfriend.

 

And oh, the corpse that they used as Clayton's, was an elderly woman named Mrs. Charlotte Davis. I imagine it's sometimes difficult to distinguish a gender of a corpse, but when you decide to take it from the graveyard, I suppose you are spoiled for choices..?

 

There is no need to make Sherlock cry for this case, he would kick your butt for wasting his time.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Amazing.  Truly amazing.

 

I assume that many crooks, especially the amateurs, think that getting money (or whatever) illegally is easier than getting it honestly.  But then they prove the opposite.  So if it's just as hard to be crooked as to be honest, why risk getting put in jail?

[Arcadia]

Deal! If they go looking for the scripts, the trail will lead to you. Perfect! Thanks! :P

Something I have wondered many times ... the amount of trouble a scam artist goes to, why not just get a real job instead? It's be easier, and the benefits are better... (maybe. Hm.)

Guess what the "Final Jeopardy" question was tonite? (I may be paraphrasing a bit, I'm not a speed typist... )

 

"In an 1887 novel, this narrator's old wartime injury is in his shoulder; in an 1896(?) story by the same author, it's in his leg."
