I read The Hounds of Tindalos over my linchbreak and this exchange in it was really funny to me.

quote:

"Then you do not entirely despise science."

"Of course not." he affirmed. "I merely distrust the scientific positivism of the past fifty years, the positivism of Haeckel and Darwin and of Mr. Bertrand Russell. I believe that biology has failed pitifully to explain the mystery of man's origin and destiny."

"Give them time," I retorted.

Chalmers' eyes glowed. "My friend." he murmured, "your pun is sublime. Give them time. That is precisely what I would do. But your modern biologist scoffs at time. He has the key but he refuses to use it. What do we know of time, really? Einstein believes that it is relative, that it can be interpreted in terms of space, of curved space. But must we stop there? When mathematics fails us can we not advance by—insight?"

"You are treading on dangerous ground," I replied. "That is a pitfall that your true investigator avoids. That is why modern science has advanced so slowly. It accepts nothing that it cannot demonstrate. But you—"

"I would take hashish, opium, all manner of drugs. I would emulate the sages of the East. And then perhaps I would apprehend—"

"What?"

the whole thing loving sucks. like, that's going to gently caress him up for the rest of his life too, probably. I keep thinking of the "which knot did you tie?" scene from the Prestige, wild there was a real world example in 2021

The new AA made me start rereading the collected Sherlock Holmes books I got, it's a cool annotated edition that includes a lot of trivia from Sherlockheads.

The Adventure of the Speckled Band has an appendix fully about people's speculation of what exactly is the poisonous snake in the case because it doesn't really fit any description of an IRL snake and one of them includes a "specially-trained Gila Monster".

Once you've read all the short stories definitely check out the Granada TV series starring Jeremy Brett. He's the definitive Holmes imo and the adaptations are really faithful to the source material. There's also a really good Soviet series from the late '70s. I'm pretty sure all the episodes are still on YouTube

The other day I was at Walmart looking at magic cards and a 10 year old kid came to look for Pokemon cards and then started talking to me about how he loves fighting anime and JJBA was his favorite but Pokemon is the only anime you don't get made fun of at school for watching.
