The updated addiction had a very funny line when Holmes exposed his adaptation to modern life in London. I’m dying for the rest of the series to hit NetFlix as there are only three there now.

Conan Doyle ( insinuates that in order to supply husbands with multiple wives, Mormon outriders attacked wagon trains and killed all the men and boys and returned with the surviving womem and girls. He also mentions that Mormon men who may have held views against the church disappeared without trial. Also mentions that guards were posted on the borders to capture those who attempted to leave.

(starts on page 70 of my copy of the book).

The last couple of Mormons who came to my door were asked: How many wives do you think you will have?? Stunned...they smiled and said they didn’t do that anymore.

Yeh...They should at least wait until the kids know how to put a condom on a cucumber.

Yes, of course, the original Watson was just back from Afghanistan. Hmmm...I’m trying to think of what his addiction was - it wasn’t cocaine in the show? I know I saw an episode wherein he did do drugs.

Only three were made. They are producing three more now which will probably be released next year.

Censorship is not right. I didn't start to read, until the Sophomore year in High School. I checked out the Complete Sherlock Holmes. It started me on a reading history that continues until this day, Who can forget the word “ Rache” or the Red Headed Society, of course the Hounds and all of the rest.It is too bad when people try to control other peoples minds.

I think "Heather Has Two Mommies" would not injure the psyche of the little brats.

Another victory for the religion of peace pagans.

They better get rid of all Mark Twain’s stuff also. He had no use for Mormons.

And Zane Grey. "Riders of the Purple Sage" is an indictment of Mormons.

Now the story has Dr. Watson being injured near Kandahar during the war in Afghanistan.

In the original, his regiment reached Candahar (Kandahar) in safety, and he was later wounded at the battle of Maiwand.

Thanks to your excellent reportage, I was able to surmise this is a central Virginia story?

By a Jezail bullet....where on his body is up to much debate.

On the shoulder - the bullet shattered the bone and grazed the subclavianl artery.

I could have sworn it was the leg.

The Sign of the Four: "sat nursing my wounded leg. I had had a Jezail bullet through it some time before, and though it did not prevent me from walking it ached wearily at every change of the weather."

The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor: "the Jezail bullet which I had brought back in one of my limbs as a relic of my Afghan campaign throbbed with dull persistence." But since he is propping up his legs, that "limb" is likely a leg.

More seriously, he was either shot twice or Arther Conan Doyle forget where he said Watson was shot when he came back to write more stories. However I do wonder if the bullet went through his leg in the first quote, why did his surgeon put it back in as a relic for the second quote. Maybe he was shot three times.

[hsalaw]

In the second paragraph of "A Study in Scarlet": ". . . There ['at the fatal battle of Maiwand'] I was struck on the shoulder by a Jezail bullet, whch shattered the bone and grazed the subclavian artery." Later in the story, Holmes refers to Watson favoring his arm, from which Holmes assumes he had been wounded.

Maybe two wounds? Or maybe Arthur Conan Doyle just wanted to see if his readers actually paid attention!
