Tonight I offered to have my sister come over to my place to watch Sherlock, but she can have my DVD when they pry it out of my cold, dead hand. ;) :laugh:

She hasn't watched either one yet.
Today I had an inexplicable craving for...eggs Benedict!
As near as I can tell, BC's name means "a newly married man (previously thought to be a confirmed bachelor) who is burdened down by a large flask of liquor." :laugh:

Dang! I wish I could find that article I read some weeks ago on Cumberbatch. It was quite detailed about his life. He said that in a karma-like way, he appeared in the movie Amazing Grace as one of the supporters of the abolition of slavery as a type of atonement because his forefathers - Cumberbatch is German and means something like 'from a valley' or something like that - went to the West Indies and made quite a fortune in the sugar/slave trade.

If it's German then the name must have started out as (Something)-bach.
The English can't spell or pronounce German names for shit. >:(
