Reminds me of that old Sherlock Holmes joke. In case you never heard it went something like:Feeling the need for relaxation after the events of "The Red-Headed League", Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they were exhausted and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.
"Watson," he said, "look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Sleepily, Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."
"And what does that tell you?"
Watson pondered this a moment. "Astronomically," he said, "it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Timewise, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three."
Taking Holmes's silence as approval, Watson continued with growing confidence, "Theologically I can see that the Lord is all-powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."
He paused, and looked over at the Great Detective. "So, Holmes, what does it tell you?"
Holmes shook his head in disgust. "Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent."
