What Pipe or Pipe Tobacco Did You Smoke Today? [pics]

While watching before dinner the Sherlock Season 4 Episode 2 i noticed another huge mistake. Suddenly the sister of Sherlock Holmes show-up with the name "Euros" and in the last minutes of the episode she says that her name is "silly" and means "East wind" in Greek. First of all silly was the guy who wrote this in the scenario and second there is no wind in Greek language with that name and the East wind is called "Apeliotes" and later "Levantes". The word "Euros" in Greek language [we write it "Ευρος"] is "amplitude" in english, probably someone heard from a Greek sailor to say "Ουριος" [which is pronounced like "Hourios" in english] but this is the "favorable wind", any wind which pushes the sailing vessel helping it and not specific the wind which comes from the East.

...Merde de Cheval.

Would that be in the cup or the bowl, or those flattened things on the plate?

A long time ago an old customer who was never happy with his pipe tobacco, finally found the right blend. He walked in the shop and said, "I want more of that horse sh@t tobacco you sold me." This light English tobacco, Merde de Cheval Blend, was born.

My wife love chocolate cookies, i prefer Vanilla but who can have an objection?

In purpose i delay to watch the BBC Sherlock tv-series with Benedict Cumberbatch because i don't like the plot, i am watching them only because i am great fan of Sherlock Holmes and if someone asks me i had to say that i have seen them. After 3 tries finally in the 4th i manage to finish tonight the Episode 3 of Season 4.
OK what's next on the 5 Season? Sherlock and Mycroft are not brothers from the same parents because Ms Hudson is their real mother and Dr Watson is the child of Ms Hudson secret marriage and Moriarty as we know him isn't the guy that we see because has a twin brother which is the informer of the NWO dictator which will come from Mars to rule the Earth so Sherlock must search to find the solution inside the Middle Earth in which must travel back in time with the help of Dr Watson's sister which is the woman who killed Mary Watson which of course was not real but a duplicate which...THAT'S ENOUGH !

The "figurehead" of a man with turban and his Sherlock Holmes like calabash pipe is unique.
The house in 1070 Vienna, Hermanngasse 17, didn’t change its appearance since architect Erich Lichtblau redesigned it for the Lichtblau Company in 1922. It’s frozen in time with all its architectural exterior, its historic value and all the tragedy for the Lichtblau-Grünfeld family.

Ancient Greece had the "State" and the "2 party in the Parliament" political system thousand years before other countries adopt it so back in 6th BC an "A" party man the Cleisthenes invented a way to "get rid off" his political opponents of the "B" party. According to the new system a complain even anonymous [!] by a citizen to another was enough for the Parliament and the Municipal Assembly to have a meeting to decide if "the regime was threatened by that man's activity and strength" and could contemned him to 10 years of exile without interrogation or apology [!] even if the man had no prior criminal record. Was enough for the procedure if 6000 votes were collected otherwise the meeting was over and the man was free to return back home. The votes were shells on which the citizen wrote the name of the man that was a candidate for an exile.
Thus the majority of the brilliant minds of Atheneans died in exile or in prison cause of that "system" with all the possessions to be pledged.
One day Aristides "the Just" was called and informed that was under a vote for an exile and as he got out from the building a poor man approach him and asked for a help, Aristides replied positive and the poor man gave him an empty shell and a graphida to engrave a name.

"Which name you want from me to engrave?"
"Aristides"
"Do you know this man?"
"No"
"So why you want for this person to be exiled?"
"Because i am tired to hear from all the other people to call him as: The Just"
"So this is the reason that you want to vote against him?"
"Yes"
Aristides shook his head with skepticism and have the shell to the poor man which went into the building to vote happy that he did his duty as a civilian and for the next 10 years he wouldn't hear anything for that "The Just" guy.

pot sherd = ostrakon

This unfortunate effect of direct democracy (well know history to the highly educated patriots of the American colonies of Great Britain) is the specific reason why the founding fathers of the United States insisted on an "indirect" democracy, which is enshrined in the US Constitution, and is our representative government.

The procedure was called Ostrakismos [Ostracism in english]. The most important people suffered from this,the list is on a book.

This book informs you with proofs and precise references to ancient texts of the historical truth about the ancient Greek democracy and especially the Athenian, which intentionally so much glorify you. They are lying to you that democracy was the ideal constitution. On the contrary, it was an inhuman regime that murdered, imprisoned, and exiled the Οptimals of the Greeks. It slaughtered teens, groups and whole populations. He sold slaves women and children. He sacrificed sacraments to kill. Torture till death. He was rigidly shuffling the laws. They were banishing folks from their homeland. He praised murderers, established family responsibility. He was condemned to death by Conium or by starvation. He was creating people alive! He was buring books. He was punishing even dead people.

Unfortunately the weather changed and he had an afternoon rain, in cases like this when a storm comes in the middle of summer [i remember as a kid till now] we grumble saying "Hmm..we became London".
The Meteo-guys said that tomorrow morning we will have clouds but later the sun will show-up.
