CSI and the morphine solution

topic posted Sun, January 9, 2005 - 12:32 PM by  Unsubscribed
Did anyone happen to catch the last episode of CSI? A group of re-enactors representing Prof. Moriarty, Irene Adler and Dr. Watson are suspects in the murder of 'Sherlock Holmes.' While the idea of dressing in Victorian style doesn't much appeal to me, I do see how it would be fun to get together with a group to talk over classic unsolved murders and the Holmes ambience would certainly help. Most importantly, the crime was pretty well planned and would have worked very well in the 1880s.

And the morphine solution? The killer substituted a 7% solution of morphine for the victim's usual cocaine mix.

    Yes, I saw that. I thought it was pretty cool.

    While I don't know as much as I would like about Holmes, etc., I actually do dress up in Victorian style garb (-not as high class, though-) each winter season, for the Dickens Christmas Fair. We typically do have a Sherlock Holmes there, as well as many other Victorian period figures. ( We actually have an actor who almost looks like Dickens himself, re-incarnated! www.dickensfair.com ) You can also see a lot of pictures if you check out the Dickens Fair Folk tribe.
