Mcdonalds, this meal already comes up to 780 calories by itself, but throw in a large Coke (290 calories) and large order of fries (510) and you’re looking at a meal that will set you back almost 1,600 calories. Can you guess what it is? It's the infamous Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese!

HIGHEST CALORIE ITEMS IN FAST FOODS

Burger King has its share of big, high-calorie sandwich, but this one is far and way the highest calorie item. It features three quarter-pound beef patties, bacon, cheese, special sauce on a sesame seed bun. The Triple Stacker King comes up to a whopping 1,370 calories.

Five Guys: Large Fries, there's no denying that Five Guys has delicious French fries. It's impossible not to order a side of them with a burger or a hot dog. But if you're going to, just know that the large fry option has 1,314 calories, which is a lot, to say the least. If you add that to a burger with a bun (no other toppings) for 460 calories, you've got a meal that is nearly 2,000 calories in just one sitting.

One might assume that one of Dairy Queen's ice cream sundaes would be at the top of the list, but nope: it's the chicken. A six-piece basket of Honey Hot Glazed Chicken Strips comes in at 1,600 calories, one of the highest on this entire list. That doesn't even include fries.

The Origin of

Sherlock Holmes

By: Shantel Tyree

Arthur Conan Doyle (The creator)

In 1877, a young medical student by the name of Arthur Conan Doyle became Dr Bell's clerk and the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, and was inspired, by what he saw of the good doctor's methods and powers of deduction and observation, to create the character of Sherlock Holmes. Joseph Bell used methods of observation and deduction on his patients and Conan Doyle was very impressed by his teacher's methods. This was an inspiration for the creation of Sherlock Holmes. That's why Joseph Bell was often named as "The Original of Sherlock Holmes"

Who inspired Sherlock Holmes?

On October 14, 1892, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Arthur Conan Doyle, is published. The book was the first collection of Holmes stories, which Conan Doyle had been publishing in magazines since 1887. Conan Doyle was born in Scotland and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where he met Dr. Joseph Bell, a teacher with extraordinary deductive power. Bell partly inspired Doyle’s character Sherlock Holmes years later.

What makes Sherlock Holmes special?

Sherlock Holmes's success as a “consulting detective” comes from his uncanny ability to gather evidence based upon his honed skills of observation and deductive reasoning. minute observations and is thus able to solve the most difficult cases, which baffle others. He is quite well informed, but only in a limited number of subjects. I personally think what makes him interesting is that he solves mystery and helps people in a unique way and that he has a shady, mysterious aura to him. He is a very skilled and intelligent detective and you many find reading some books or watching some movie about his detective cases interesting and you may even like him as much as I do.
