Sherlock Holmes and Google
Click to add Sherlock Holmes quotes to your iGoogle homepage. 
Elementary,my dear Watson.
Remember these words? Definitely yes if you love Sherlock Holmes. However, it is a different fact that Sherlock Holmes never said those words exactly.
I am a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan. I was in 10th standard when I first read The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I finished it as fast as I could.
Then I bought all books and now I have lost the count how many times I have read each story. Once you read a couple of opening pages of any Holmes story, you cannot put it down until you finish it. All of the books are great but my favorites are “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” and “A Study in Scarlet”.
The popularity and influence of Holmes can be inferred by the fact that Holmes is the only fictional character that has been inducted as an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Great.
Kudos to the character and the man who created it : Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Many of the statements said by Holmes have become quotes by now. Even “Elementary,my dear Watson”, which is the most famous quote of Holmes, has not been uttered a single time in any of the stories, has become the most famous of them all.
Some of my favorite quotes are:
- My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people don’t know.
- It was easier to know it than to explain why I know it. If you were asked to prove that two and two made four, you might find some difficulty, and yet you are quite sure of the fact.
- It is quite a three pipe problem, and I beg that you won’t speak to me for fifty minutes.It is more than possible; it is probable.
- It is impossible as I state it, and therefore I must in some respect have stated it wrong.
- Dr Leslie Armstrong “I have heard your name, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and I am aware of your profession – one of which I by no means approve.”
Holmes “In that, Doctor, you will find yourself in agreement with every criminal in the country.”- Cut out the poetry, Watson.
It is a small list,all of them are fantastic. Anyway,as a way of paying tribute to my favourite fictional character, I created another gadget. 
It displays a quotation of Sherlock Holmes each day. By default it will select a quote from any one of the books. But you can select a specific book also.
For example, if you wish to see quotes only from “A study in scarlet”, you can set it. Just click Edit settings in gadgets toolbar and select the book.
What are you waiting for now? Add the gadget to your igoogle and have fun.
As a bonus, I present to you a book titled “THE QUOTABLE SHERLOCK HOLMES ” taken from American Digest.
Download “THE QUOTABLE SHERLOCK HOLMES “
Enjoy!!!
