How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From cracked.com, 6 Insane Fan Theories That Actually Make Great Movies Better

eta:

These theories also give us hope for other films too. For example, we have our own theory that The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull occurs entirely in Indiana Jones's mind--he hallucinates the whole goddamn mess while slowly dying from radiation poisoning in a lead-lined fridge.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

What exactly is RDJ's accent in Sherlock Holmes? There was a lispiness to it that struck me as odd, but now that it's had time to seep, I realize it reminds me of Jeremy Northam's accent in The Winslow Boy. Is it an Edwardian/ Victorian London accent that most actors choose not to adopt? Or do I just not watch enough of the right films and shows?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think the question may be more accurately put as "What exactly are RDJ's accents in Sherlock Holmes?" I couldn't name any of them, but he was kinda mumbly and kinda wobbly.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

heh. Most accents, authentic or not, go in one ear and out the other, unless, of course, they is sexay. Just, as a choice (or choices), it's odd.

Maybe a nod to the unmentioned use of cocaine?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tangentially, did you think there was an implication he was messed up on something in the scene with the flies?

Apparently Nikki Finke says there will be no Sam Raimi Spiderman 4, but instead a reboot that sends him back to high school. How reliable is she?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita, if you look at her blog now, she's got the Sony press release which confirms this.

This is wild.
