Can you believe that the famous detective Sherlock Holmes was a real historical figure and he actually existed?
Sherlock Holmes, the introspecting detective who solved many complicated and perplexing crimes and mysteries by his logical reasoning and deductions, along with his abettor Dr. Watson are supposed to be one of the most famous pairs in the book world! Most of you must have read some of their interesting mysteries.
I had earlier told you that the writer of Sherlock Holmes, the famous author Arthur Conan Doyle actually believed in fairies! But here's something more strange- No, I don't personally believe this......
More than half of the teenagers of England believe that Sherlock Holmes was a real historical figure. According to a survey conducted by UKTV Gold some time back, questions were posed to 3,000 ordinary Britons to test their historical acumen, the results of which point out that 58 % of them believed that Sherlock Holmes was not a mythical figure; but really existed.
In fact, the survey even showed many interesting, bizarre but thought-provoking results. News Right Now reports:
Some think Charles Dickens was himself a character in fiction rather than the creator of David Copperfield, Oliver Twist and Martin Chuzzlewit. Meanwhile Sherlock Holmes, the pilot Biggles, and the Three Musketeers were real people.
I still cannot believe my eyes! What do you think?

Well, but I'm sure he was not real. But I agree it would have been nice if he was real :)
