Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner, they retire for the night, and go to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”
“I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes,” exclaims Watson.
“And what do you deduce from this?”
Watson ponders for a minute, wanting to impress his extraordinary friend.
“Well, astronomically, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I suspect we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see God is all powerful, and we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?”
And Holmes says: “Watson, you idiot, it means somebody stole our tent.”
