I just started watching House, and it's the most unique show I've ever watched. It's just so good. I figured out that House is like Sherlock Holmes but in the medical sense. (He's a diagnostician) When I went on Wikipedia.org, and typed in House, I found out that it is a homophone of Holmes, and a lot of things in the show are modeled after the Sherlock Holmes series.

The idea of a character like House having once been a med student makes me cringe.

(Time to advertise my new article!:biggrin:)

Englishman, this library article will explain the different member levels at PF:

Very nice entry, G01. Well done. You might consider putting the past PF thread links that Evo and Moonbear and I linked to, into the Past Forum Threads section of your library entry. But it's up to you -- it stands well just as-is too.

Sounds good berkeman. I don't think I can add things to the "Recent thread list." I believe that is just a automatic process. Any new threads with the right words become listed there. I can possibly add them to the "See Also" link, though. Let me see what I can do.

Also, I noticed in one of those threads, Evo was talking about how she was never going to become a mentor! Two points:

1. Evo- Be confident! You can do it!:biggrin:

2.You told be you were always an all powerful and omniscient mentor... I'm...so... confused...My world view...collapsing...:cry:

Um, I don't see anything much in it. It looks more like a placeholder entry to me. Am I supposed to see more?

Oh! No, didn't even see that there. There's a big space and I thought the entry had just ended (it was off my screen). Nice!
