I should imagine that if you are playing the game in the first place you would not be well endowed in the grey matter area.
I noticed the same thing when we visited Ireland several years ago, and had my picture taken in front of one of the Moriarty shops.
This made me think about George Bernard Shaw’s famed dislike of the sleuth. It always seemed odd because Holmes seems like the sort of character Shaw would love. Indeed, the similarities between Holmes/Watson and Prof. Higgins/Col. Pickering are so many and close that it’s hard to think Shaw didn’t base his Pygmalion characters on Doyle’s. (And I couldn’t get Shaw out of my head – when we had been in Dublin a few days earlier we’d visited Shaw’s house).
So why did Shaw dislike Holmes, passing him off as a mere drug addict? I recalled all those Moriartys in Derry. And Moriarty’s right-hand man was Col. Sebastian Moran – another Irish name. And Shaw himself was Irish. Maybe that said it all. (Shaw’s Professor Higgins, the Holmes substitute, is shown to be prejudiced and insensitive about it, but in his case it’s judging the Welsh – also identified by their surnames – as thieves and criminals).
Teemings piece I wrote about Moriarty (and Shaw):
A rousing game on youtube Actually shows something resembling tactics and cohesive game play.
I reject that characterisation.
