Elementary, my dear Watson

Harry Houdini. 

It was on Oct. 31, 1892, that The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is published.


Arthur Conan Doyle had been publishing the stories in magazines since 1887.

It is on this date in 1926 that magician and escape artist Harry Houdini dies of a ruptured appendix.

Now, if you will excuse me. I have to try and get these locked chains off me.

Happy Halloween!
