I know this may sound funny but I am kind of reminded of The Dancing Men! :D We just need one or two of the chromosomes to be carrying a flag each!! Actually that might be a fun way of introducing chromosomes in a class. Have them spell out chromosomes using the Dancing Men code! How is that for a Sherlock Holmes and medical crossover! I do believe Dr Watson would approve!!

BTW would he have known about chromosomes or is that too recent knowledge and not applicable in the Victorian era of medicine? :)

You can do a crossover, actually, I thought chromosomes were discovered later on, but they were actually discovered in 1842, look
