Story: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip.
They set up their tent and fell asleep.
Some hours later, Holmes woke his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson replied, "I see millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?" Holmes asked
Watson pondered for a minute.
"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.
Horologically, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.
Theologically, it’s evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. “
Then after a pause, Watson says: “Well, Holmes, What does it tell you?"
Holmes was silent for a moment and then he said.
"Watson, you imbecile, someone has stolen our tent."
