No, that's..."I'll believe I'll have yart".If you're pointing out another glorious reinyart nation®, link to the evidence, Dr. Musick, link to the evidence!...so I can take proper credit!  It's an elementary procedure, you know!

I have read speculations that Conan Doyle himself experimented with cocaine. All I could find was about Shrelock Holmes' use thereof: http://www.siracd.com/work_h_cocaine.shtml

I cannot remember the name of the author, but someone within the last ten years or so wrote a book called "The Seven Percent Solution", which is mystery a la Holmes. I read it but it apparently made little impression on me.
The title referred to the strength of the cocaine Holmes used.

I went to look up the name of the author, which is Meyer, and came across this, which I have edited suitably to make it noncommercial:
Customers who wear clothes also shop for:
Clean Underwear from ******* Store
Ladybug Rain Boots from ************* Store
Pet Socks from ********************* Store
Puppy Footed One-Pieces for Newborns from ******Store
Makes me wonder what people who don't wear clothes shop for. And in the second line, is the alternative shopping for dirty underwear?

Since you asked the question, I searched and found a site in Germany
that offers fetish soiled panties. Somehow I did not expect anyone to want the URL.
Edited, thanks to etaoin.

Makes me wonder what people who don't wear clothes shop for. Purses, of course. Think about it. The 7% Solution was also a very funny movie, considerably more than 10 yrs. ago.

Platonism pervades my bones. It's true. I took a "learning styles inventory" when I got ready to go to college and rated as a near perfect "assimilator." I collect knoweledge and try to put it together in a way that makes sense. The counselor deduced somehow that I would be a good bean counter (accountant) which is a truly repulsive thing to say.
I love math and while I like science very much, it seems a bit messy to me.
Also, Plato, while I disagree with him and he's caused me a bit of heart-ache in the past, makes some sense to me. (Well, at least as far as he has put himself into the person of Socrates.) OTOH, I've tried to get through Aristotle many times and find it sincerely irritating. (Probably in large part to the fact that the translations were too literal.)
