In what story did Sherlock Holmes die?
In 1893 After seeing the magnificent Reichenbach Falls in the northern Swiss Alps Conan Doyle decided the place would make a worthy tomb for Sherlock Holmes. The Adventure of the Final Problem was published in Dec 1893 in The Strand magazine and later collected in 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.' People were so upset that many thousands cancelled their subscription to the magazine. In 1901 Sherlock Holmes reappeared in The Hound of the Baskervilles. However it is clear that Holmes was not alive. This story took place before the incident at Reichenbach Falls. Later Holmes really was brought back to life in 'The Adventure of the Empty House' published in 1903.

Sherlock Holmes was a skilled violinist and was learned in the Oriental defense art of baritsu, which is actually a fictional martial art but related to judo, I believe. He was interested in chemistry, and frequently dabbled with poisons and acids and anything he needed to fulfill experiments. According to Dr. Watson, he was an excellent singlestick player (one-handed fencing stick), boxer, and swordsman.

What martial art does Machoke from Pokemon know?
Good question, but it is unclear what the exact answer is. In the Pokemon Red and Blue beta, Machoke was known as Kung-Foo, which is a reference to a Chinese martial art. In the description of the Pokemon, it refers to his superpowers that he restricts with his belt, so his power may not come from martial arts training at all, and then one of his moves has the word "Karate" in it, so that is another option.

Who were Agatha Christie's parents?
We are not told who Sherlock Holmes' parents were, but we do have these clues to his ancestry: In 'The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter' we find this exchange: __"In your own case," said I, "from all that you have told me it seems obvious that your faculty of observation and your peculiar facility for deduction are due to your own systematic training." __"To some extent," he answered, thoughtfully. "My ancestors were country squires, who appear to have led much the same life as is natural to their class. But, none the less, my turn that way is in my veins, and may have come with my grandmother, who was the sister of Vernet, the French artist. Art in the blood is liable to take the strangest forms." __"But how do you know that it is hereditary?" __"Because my brother Mycroft possesses it in a larger degree than I do." In 'The Adventure of the Norwood Builder' Watson writes: "A young doctor, named Verner, had purchased my small Kensington practice, and given with astonishingly little demur the highest price that I ventured to ask - an incident which only explained itself some years later, when I found that Verner was a distant relation of Holmes', and that it was my friend who had really found the money." ------ The Sherlock Holmes stories do not list the names of Holmes's parents. Later books, from authors other than Doyle, have speculated on who his parents might have been. One such speculation produced the names Siger and Violet based upon Holmes using the name Sigerson during his Great Hiatus and his fondness for clients named Violet.
