Listening to Sherlock and Co and hearing Sherlock's 'Hmmm Yes' when John says he's wearing tights has taken years off my life.
YEARS.

I was looking up trivia about the Red-Headed League, when I found out that there was a real life robbery in Britain supposedly inspired by the story, and it even took place on a Baker Street.
The robbers had leased out a shop, dug a tunnel underneath the street across another shop into the basement of a nearby bank, and made their way inside. Unlike in the story, they completed their haul and were caught later. Most of them that is, but not all. Apparently they only recovered £231,000, out of a total of between £1.25 and £3 million.
I recommend reading the Wikipedia article for more information, though some of the sources are pretty old so I don't know how accurate all of this stuff is. Still really cool though.

Holmes chuckled and wriggled in his chair, as was his habit when in high spirits.

“Holmes chuckled and wiggled in his chair, as was his habit when in high spirits”
“He curled himself in his chair, with his thin knees drawn up to his hawk-like nose, and there he sat with his eyes closed and his black clay pipe thrusting out like the bill of some strange bird. I had come to the conclusion that he had dropped asleep, and indeed was nodding myself, when he suddenly sprang out of his chair with the gesture of a man who has made up his mind and put his pipe down upon the mantelpiece”
“My friend was an enthusiastic musician, being himself not only a very capable performer but a composer of no ordinary merit. All the afternoon he sat in the stalls wrapped in the most perfect happiness, gently waving his long, thin fingers in time to the music, while his gently smiling face and his languid, dreamy eyes were as unlike those of Holmes, the sleuth-hound, Holmes the relentless…”
“Sherlock Holmes was not very communicative during the long drive and lay back in the cab humming the tunes which he had heard in the afternoon. We rattled through an endless labyrinth of gas-lit streets until we emerged into Farringdon Street.”
- John Watson on Sherlock Holmes, ‘The Red-headed League’ Arthur Conan Doyle
