to:
\\\'\\\'James Phillimore, one of the suicide victims, is a shout out to \\\"The Enigma of the Warwickshire Vortex,\\\" a Sherlock Holmes short story by F. Gwynplaine [=MacIntyre=] that dealt with the unsolved disappearance of a man named James Phillimore.\\\'\\\'
False -- both the episode and the [=MacIntyre=] story are referring to one of the original Sherlock Holmes stories (Thor Bridge, I think?) in which Watson mentions Phillimore\\\'s disappearance as one of Holmes\\\'s previous cases. There\\\'s no evidence that the episode writers were referencing the [=MacIntyre=] story or even knew of it.
Both this and most of the ShoutOut entries about the original Sherlock Holmes stories duplicate the entries under MythologyGag. Strictly, I guess they qualify for both, but do we need to keep both lists? For now, I\\\'ll remove the ShoutOut list as it\\\'s less complete than the other, and with this being an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, it seems to make more sense to use the ShoutOut heading only for references to works that aren\\\'t Holmes-related.
