Why do you think Holmes kept Watson around?

  1. needed someone to boast abt his intelligence in solving the crimes.

  2. Oh no, you don't get the point ... it was actually Watson who was Holmes and Holmes who was Watson, if you get what I mean.

    But Watson being the kind of guy who is self-effacing but at the same time likes just a little bit of attention, wrote all those stories so that people would marvel at his deeds rather than at him.

  5. And what would Holmes' role then be, if I may ask?

  6. Alam - well, that is a possibility, and Holmes was also a coke-head. And of course, by today's standards (contrary to Victorian era standards), Holmes broke the _law_ to suit his purposes! :O

    Therefore, he was not gay - he was worse. MUCH worse! He - get this - was a TERRORIST! :O :O :O

    *OMG PONIES!!1111!111111*

    (Okay, okay. I'll stop. To be fair, I'm a neo-con, so I can definitely make fun of my kind.)
