A good example is, obviously, the case of Jodie Foster and the guy who tried to shoot Ronald Reagan. Do you have any stories to share?

Also, if I remember correctly, Sherlock Holmes got himself a statue from the British Society of Chemists or something like that.

I met him after he did it. I don't think he was okay after it--not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
