What About Watson? (Part Three)
Some time ago, I took a test on AOL concerning “left-brained” vs “right-brained” people and I confirmed what I always thought about myself: it turns out that I am an extremely “left-brained” man! Then I got to thinking about Dr. Watson, and considered what his mental processes were like.

Curious Artifacts of a Sherlockian Sort
The Pastiche Library
"Down in a dark, cobwebbed corner of the vaults of SherlockPeoria is a box with my name upon it . . ." Finding untold tales of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson is one of the secret vices of many an otherwise respectable Sherlockian, and things are no different here . . .
"There are
no limits to the possibilities of monomania."
-- John H. Watson, M.D.

Explaining More Than The Dates
“On a day last autumn, while reading over the Stories, some lurking Demon tempted me in an idle moment to test one of Watson’s dates, and, being of a somewhat pedantic humour, when I found that it did not conform to the calendar, I was troubled.”
When Harold W. Bell wrote those words on the first day of March 1932, he was explaining himself to his readers. It seemed necessary, I’m sure, because what he was doing was a very new thing. What was he doing? Simply just trying to put the sixty tales of Sherlock Holmes in the order in which they occurred.

Sherlocking In the Spirit of Beijing
For the past fortnight, I have been glued to provinces of the NBC networks, watching the Games of the 29th Olympiad. I have watched sports I never knew existed and ones that I have long been a fan. At the risk of sounding a little voyeuristic, I especially enjoyed Women's Beach Volleyball. As a collector of foreign translations of the Canon, I also took pleasure at seeing the different countries represented and mentally keeping tabs of whether or not they're any Sherlock Holmes translation from each nation.
