Should probably read more Sherlock, science, and philosophy.

Spread this for research

scarlettcurls: Ok, so both my husband and I went to the midnight showing of The Hobbit.  Therefore we got two sets of these gorgeous posters.  So I figured there has to be someone out there who wants to give them a good home.  Reblog this and I’ll pick someone at random to get all 4 posters. You have until January 5th 2013. Me please, oh most managimous of persons.
