Re: The CTRL+V Game
Sherlock Holmes never said "Elementary, my dear Watson" in any of the stories by Conan Doyle. However, that phrase has been used frequently in the movies and was even mistakenly cited in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations for 1937 and 1948. The actual quotation is as follows:
"I have the advantage of knowing your habits, my dear Watson," said he. "When your round is a short one you walk, and when it is a long one you use a hansom. As I perceive that your boots, although used, are by no means dirty, I cannot doubt that you are at present busy enough to justify the hansom."
"Excellent!" I cried.
"Elementary," said he. "It is one of those instances where the reasoner can produce an effect which seems remarkable to his neighbour, because the latter has missed the one little point which is the basis of the deduction. The same may be said, my dear fellow, for the effect of some of these little sketches of yours, which is entirely meretricious, depending as it does upon your retaining in your own hands some factors in the problem which are never imparted to the reader.
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (1893)
Watson and Holmes in "The Crooked Man" (Doubleday p. 412)
I really need to stop liking things so much, lol.

Lars Ulrich is the worst drummer ever. First...there's crappy drummers like the ones in emo bands, then there are very crappy drummers like in the washed up ones that play for Jones Brothers or Miley Cyrus, and then there is Lars...he just has a category all on his own. Nobody goes in or out of the Lars category.
Funny comment I found on Blabbermouth.net.

I think that's a Mika photo that I bought?
I've been buying a few 8x10s today, as costly as it is.
