I recently bought a volume of collected issues from The Strand magazine, which originally published the Sherlock Holmes stories - making it quite valuable. Within I found much to amuse and amaze and, being by nature a caring and sharing sort of fellow, saw fit to begin the arduous process of scanning the pages into a computer and 'uploading' them here for the benefit of the general public.

I will update this thread periodically with new pages. For now, enjoy:

The cover.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
Zig-Zags at the zoo (Don't ask me. It's about animals, I think?)
Curiosities, including humerously-shaped vegetables.
Pictures of celebrities at varying times of their lives (don't you just love that straightforward Victorian attitude to titles?).
Dates and references on request.

Yes, it's a rum sort of fine. Wait a minute! That's - that's - by god! It's Doc Brown from Back To The Future!

He really CAN travel through time! :eek:



Next episode: Fashions of the Future!
 
How is he going to go 88 miles per hour back in 1893???
 
No. With his car from the future on front of a train. Genius!
 
No no no. That was the kid. He actually built a train from the future in the past.

As the magazine, and this book, was published back in 1893, I somewhat doubt it.

But if it is, I'll gladly cease and desist when some lawyeresque guy (not Angry Lawyer) tells me to.
 
You never know, people like to hold onto their copyrights long after they are dead...

Great Scott!

OK, this is really freaking me out. Everything I think about seems to come about the next day.


I was just thinking about 'Doc Brown' at work. I think it was because of that US Navy cold fusion thing, and my comment about the fusion powered Ford Fiesta.


In Back to the Future, the car had a 'Mr.Fusion' Generator.

So I pictured this guy 'doc brown' exclaiming, "1.5 gigawatts!"


Sorry this post wasn't more interesting.
