Re: Count to 1895
Ok. ACD turned 153 this year. 
It is also the code for 'mental processes and intelligence' in the Dewey Decimal System.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Re: Count to 1895
The Sun follows a 154-day periodicity (is this even a word?) on gamma-ray flares. Sherlock would not be impressed I am sure.

In the year 155 AD the Romans began to abandon Hadrian's wall (so at least it's about Britain).

Re: Count to 1895
There's a dentist named Jeanne Moriarty at 156 Ramapo Valley Road in Mahwah, NJ. Sorry, but "Mahwah" sounds a lot like an evil laugh, and on the website where I found this, there's a comment that says, "Be the first to share your experience about Dr. Moriarty."

Re: Count to 1895
CS 157: Introduction to Logic is a course at Stanford University. It shows how to encode information in the form of logical sentences. It shows how to reason systematically with such information to produce all logical conclusions and only logical conclusions.
Sound familiar?

Re: Count to 1895
If we believe the "authorities", Sherlock Holmes, were he still alive (oh, I'm sorry, didn't you all know?), would have turned 158 years old this past January 6th.

Re: Count to 1895
162...is a surprising elusive number.
However, 162 Gloucester Place in Central London advertises itself as being an apartment complex within walking distance of the Sherlock Holmes museum. Who knew?
