Had a similar moment with Sherlock Holmes (Score:1)

I'm glad I'm not the only one bugged by this. I finally got to the Masterpiece Theater Sherlock Holmes movie [pbs.org] sitting on the TiVo, and it was generally well done. But they have one scene with Holmes, an accomplished chemist, sticking his nose in a chemical bottle to smell it. As far as I know, this is something a true chemist would never do. Just bugged me enough to break the narrative for me.

  Well, Holmes is not a true chemist. ;-)
  
  And: go Carolina!
  
  Nah, just kidding, I hate the Whalers. Of course, I hate every team in the East that is not the Bruins. But I hate Carolina more than most. I also hate Buffalo more than Ottawa, but oh well.
  
  Go Sharks! Failing that, Go Oilers! Failing that, Go Ducks!
