Not Exactly Holmesian Logic: Sherlock Holmes has been given a "posthumous" honorary fellowship from the Royal Society of Chemistry. What would Holmes think? He would scoff, of course. He never suffered foolishness gladly. Surely the offering of a "posthumous" award to an immortal fictional character would have made him sneer. Still, it's a nice gesture in that it recognizes Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's contribution to fostering an interest in science through his fiction.
