This is from spuf, The words on all of them make up a quote from Sherlock Holmes. "Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser." [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2758444&page=2[/url]

[QUOTE=7331;36414567]Interesting when wearing the medic "sherlock solver" set the description on the junk items change. The final phrase is "Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser." This all might be bullshit since its spuf the troll paradise.[/QUOTE] Its the quote from The Adventure of the Copper Beeches - Sherlock Holmes. Sorry if late. god damn ninja :(

[QUOTE=Bad Joe;36414686]guys stop being so unsure about the numbers i want to know if i'll have a cool birthday this year[/QUOTE] we're not unsure, we're 100% sure it's bullshit

Yes... yes, the Blue color also makes sense if they did it the attribute way.

We should try reading the item descriptions with the Fruit Shoot Set (set description: Reduces the chance of hunger by up to 13%)!!! [url]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Dual-Purpose_Fruit[/url]

[QUOTE=commandhat;36414687]quotations marks like a description tagwell shit[/QUOTE] Look carefully, the text is blue.

so let's say this is legit for a second anyone a sherlock buff here that knows its relevance? my resident holmes lover is out

Anybody have the diary? :v:

you need to have the fruit shoot set or else you accidentally eat the cheese wedge

So all I can get from that quote is that it points out at the pyro and he's a devil and evil in his silly ways.

Hold on It is real? We wished so hard for this to be true it became real? Man, I have a Private Eye, I need a Nine Pipe Problem

The Sherlock's quote is a reference in classic literature to the idiom ''year in, year out'', that means ''every year for a long time'', ''year after year'', ''for years''.

actually from a quick read of the wiki page for The Adventure of the Copper Beeches, it reminds me of the Man in the Iron Mask a bit i was -going- to make said iron mask for pyro after i made his [url="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=14886"]diary[/url] damnit

[QUOTE=tso;36414715]so let's say this is legit for a second anyone a sherlock buff here that knows its relevance? my resident holmes lover is out[/QUOTE] It's from the Adventure of the Copper Beeches, one of the more creepy Sherlock Holmes stories (it's about someone's daughter being locked up in a wing of a mansion). The segment is here: [url]http://web.mac.com/nealstephenson/Neal_Stephensons_Site/Copper_Beeches.html[/url]

Getting another update right now? edit: bah, late, dw

how exactly do you get that quote again? Simply own a nine pipe problem?

[QUOTE=commandhat;36414800]how exactly do you get that quote again? Simply own a nine pipe problem?[/QUOTE] I think you need to have it equipped and view the items in the loadout while in a game online. And holy crap, the speculation machine is in a overdrive, 1102 new posts here since this morning, and SPUF is almost exploding into tinfoil by now.

[QUOTE=SLBros.;36414761]Hold on It is real? We wished so hard for this to be true it became real? Man, I have a Private Eye, I need a Nine Pipe Problem[/QUOTE] "once you've eliminated the impossible, all that's left is the truth." I'm a little shocked this is real too, it's ridiculous.

Sherlock Holmes aye? Pyro is Wheatley [url]http://i1.theportalwiki.net/img/c/cc/Wheatley_bw_a4_finale02_mashplate_intro05.wav[/url]

[QUOTE=commandhat;36414800]how exactly do you get that quote again? Simply own a nine pipe problem?[/QUOTE] Private eye and nine pipe set if it doesn't seem to do anything try to go in-game.

Also, pure speculation of course, but a story about someone being locked up and hidden wickedness, hellish cruelty? I doubt Valve would go that dark with the Pyro, but who knows.

The words on all of them make up a quote from Sherlock Holmes. Which makes alot of sense with the Eliminating The Impossible set which is based on another quote from Sherlock Holmes. "Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser."

Maybe we should test the Fruit-Shoot?

Should probably buy a private eye and nine pipe problem before 12 year olds go "THIS ITEM DOES SOMETHING WEIRD I'M ONLY SELLING FOR 3 BUDS!!!!!!!!!!"

oh they need to go that far. it would be excellent
