Re: Library of Babel
Mycroft? You mean Sherlock's brother, who was the smarter of the two, but too lazy to do anything?

Re: Library of Babel
I'm not sure my brother would be happy to be described as lazy

Oopsies! I didn't think of it that way.
Then your brother, who's in the University of Edinburgh, is working on a mathematical fact checker?
That sounds really awesome.
