Due to reasons, I am searching for the cut-out Arthur Conan Doyle mustache that went around the internet years back. I had one I kept for like 6 or 7 years, but it got wrecked in the move. Anyone know where I can get another copy of the file? #SirArthurConanDoyle #SherlockHolmes #Mustache

Some good things have come from Davos …

“It was here that Robert Louis Stevenson overcame his writer’s block and finished Treasure Island; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle started skiing in the Alps; and Thomas Mann thought of the idea for The Magic Mountain”

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Conan_Doyle

“But the Solar System!” I protested.
“What the deuce is it to me?” he interrupted impatiently; “you say that we go round the sun. If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work.” “You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.”
“Frequently.”
“How often?”
“Well, some hundreds of times.”
“Then how many are there?”
“How many? I don’t know.”
“Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed."

I find it "amusing" that Sherlock couldn't GAF about the solar system, BUT for some reason found it important to not only the count the stairs up to his flat, but to remember the number. And how does THAT make a difference to you or your work, sir?

(Definitely not bitter that my dad used to needle me about, "Oh if you admire Sherlock Holmes so much, have you ever counted OUR stairs?")
