Why is Dr John Watson important?
I always get that question. Can you imagine Holmes without Watson? He would be nothing more than a crime solving, over smoking, cocaine addicted, violin playing man. Watson makes Holmes human, causes him to show a little emotion every now and then and is a GREAT chronicler. Can you imagine how much more conceited Holmes would seem if he were his own chronicler? Holmes himself said there is no better man to have at your side in a tight place, and that no one could say so with more confidence than he. Watson is like a compare and contrast with Holmes, he evens him out, keeps you on the floor, helps you understand, makes you laugh, and makes Holmes all the more lovable.
What did Dr. Watson say to Sherlock about Algebra Pizzazz?
Dr. Watson did not say anything to Sherlock Holmes about "Algebra Pizzazz" as it is not a known reference or topic related to their interactions in Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Dr. Watson typically assisted Sherlock Holmes in solving complex criminal cases using deductive reasoning and keen observation skills rather than discussing algebraic puzzles or concepts.
Differences between Holmes and Watson?
Sherlock is smart and perfect. Watson is kindly but not as smart. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created his character Sherlock Holmes modelling him after his teacher in the Edinburgh Medical School, Dr. Joseph Bell. So this character was created out of the elements and faculties of observation, logic, deduction and diagnosis. Dr.Watson was a shadow of Doyle's past inner self from the student days, created as an unpolished rock against which the razor of Holmes' logic could be sharpened. Holmes is pictured as a very detached and reserved person whereas Watson is kind, humane, emotional and social. Watson is not at all a fool or unclever, but he certainly can not raise himself above earthly cares whereas Holmes can abandon food and rest for days if necessary, when he is engaged in a mind blowing puzzle the solving of which needs him being just a weight of nerves. Watson is straight forward and simple and just can not enter the mind of a criminal as his famous companion does. Nor can he invent ingeneous tricks like Holmes to trap adversaries.
Was Watson smarter than Sherlock Holmes?
Only in the movie 'Without a Clue' starring Ben Kingsley and Michael Caine.
Who hated the Turkish bath?
If you are asking about the Sherlock Holmes stories, no one "hates" the Turkish bath. In 'The Adventure of Lady Frances Carfax,' Holmes asked Watson why he preferred "the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating home-made article" while in 'The Adventure of the Illustrious Client,' both Holmes and Watson had a "weakness for the Turkish Bath."
Why is Watson's wife no longer referred to in the later Sherlock Holmes stories?
After Watson and Holmes meet in 'The Adventure of the Empty House,' Watson writes the following: "In some manner he had learned of my own sad bereavement, and his sympathy was shown in his manner rather than in his words." We are left to assume that he is referring to his late wife who is indeed never mentioned again.
What are 4 interesting things about Sherlock Holmes?
There's the story that he says "Elementary, my dear Watson" when he never even utters those words. There's the myth that he always wears a deerstalker hat and Inverness cape, but, in the original stories, he is only shown in those clothes in two stories requiring travel. Then there's the stereotype that Watson is a short, fat, old man. But he's not that much older than Sherlock Holmes, and he was actually an army doctor, which actually requires him to be quite fit. He's better described as "stocky".
Who is doctor Watson?
Full name is John H. Watson. It was Dorothy Sayers who first speculated that the 'H' stood for Hamish because Watson's wife called him James in 'The Man With the Twisted Lip,' and Hamish is the Scottish form for James yet his middle name is never actually given in the Conan Doyle stories.

In The Yellow Face why did Sherlock Holmes ask Watson to whisper Norbury in his ear?
Holmes' client in the case, Grant Munro, lived in the town of Norbury. At the end of the story, Holmes says: "Watson, if it should ever strike you that I am getting a little over-confident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper 'Norbury' in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you."
