Grain of salt time, but i did git it on science site.
Using DNA analysis we only know, at best, of about a quarter of all the funguses in the soil.

So, you’re saying that we do not know what’s among us?

Very nice. IIRC, don’t dogs typically have four legs?

I’ve seen a photo of him at his patent office job. He had very neat, combed back hair. I don’t know if he only groomed for work, or if he groomed regularly up to the point in his life where he quit altogether.

Buddy is 2nd from the right.
Doesn’t have a white hair anywhere.
And, at two, nothing on the muzzle yet.

They left out the last sentence for “Copernican.” The one that said “please don’t burn me at the stake for blasphemy.”

There are important parts missing.

I gave up on this one too, and Googled it…

I guess I’m in no mood for impossible puzzles.

I found several versions, a couple with a little more info, and a few just like this, including the inexplicably Indian names, with one character improbably named Jason.

That’s because the name Jason is a clue.

In fact, that would be a spoiler, if the puzzle and its solution weren’t both absolutely ridiculous.

If anyone could ever figure it out the way it’s described in the solution I found, there is nothing missing.

Well, except for the genius who could do that.

All the supposed clues are there.

Oh… yeah… the solution.

I wasn’t even going to bother posting it, but I may have made you curious.

This is what I read:

The killer is….
“Jason Kumar

The number on the calendar was written in a hurry.
Sherlock matched the written number with the months of the year.
So the B was an 8, thereby giving us 7-8-9-10-11: July, August, September, October, November.

Use the first letter of each month and it spells J-A-S-O-N.”

Yeah sure.

The longer versions added some mostly irrelevant information about there being a torn picture of the wife on the floor, and Ganpat wearing his watch on his right wrist, proving he’s left handed.

But he has a pen in his right hand, showing that he’s been trying to write right handedly (we’re not told why).

And that, folks, is why he wrote B for 8.

Oh, and the note is written on a calendar, which is why Sherlock realises that the numbers must stand for the names of months.

He concludes that the dying man used them to spell out Jason…. instead of just scribbling “Jason did it!”

We’d all figure that out, right?

I know it’s kind of silly, but it really helps, somehow, if we have the whole image.

Especially the part with, you know… the thing we’re looking for in it.

I spent quite a bit of time looking.
I didn’t really mind, for a while, because I like puzzles.

But I only like them for a reasonable amount of time.

….

After awhile, I decided something was amiss, and I googled it.

That’s how I discovered this:

It’s just a bit more possible to solve.

Ok, a lot more possible.

I solved it… So can you, probably.

But you can’t solve the one Nighthawks posted.

Just in case you still can’t find her….

First, remember, I gave a big hint

when I
pointed out that she’s in the part we didn’t have.

But if you still give up….

Here she is!

They sure know how to throw a New Year’s party in Munich. For the past six weeks all I remember is a series of pokes and stabs.

Actually I had a bout of C Diff which may or may not be over, I have been in a hospital and care facilities which competedef for worst food in Seattle.

Sorry to have been out of touch. I am a desktop guy. I have a tablet, Kindle and my phone but I never connfigured them for remote work. I am very touched by the concern for my wellbeing in the interim,

Two words: WOO & HOO!
Good to hear your virtual voice again. Are you home now or still in a rehab facility?
Hospital food places a great deal of emphasis on not being deadly, and motivating the patients to improve and get out of there so that they can enjoy eating again.

Alfred Hitchdog’s “Lifeboat !”

One of StelBel’s latest posters….

And I must say… what a film…. and what a cast!

Some were still young and relatively unknown…

others were famous then, whether or not they are well remembered today.

But no one could deny the huge assemblage of acting chops.

No, doggies.. not that kind of chops. Go lie down!

….

And of course Tallulah Barkhead is front and center.

Playing the sexy rich basset who only cares about saving her possessions… her voice, as ever, a deep, sexy growl..

She was forever associated with her off-screen persona and antics.

While other doggie divas proudly strutted in designer dresses, Tallulah chewed all her clothing off in public, wagging her tail.

….

Wearing nothing but her own fur under her costumes, she reportedly flashed the film crew so much during production that they actually complained.

.

That had to be a LOT… how much does it take to make male bassets complain about seeing … um… girl dog parts?

She announced affairs with male and female partners… some of who didn’t want it to be announced…

and bragged about her own use of catnip and cocaine!

She famously invited reporters to say anything they wanted to
About her… “as long as it’s not boring.”

Even in today’s permissive age, she’d stand out.

Imagine in the 1930s!!
