Thanks to Neel Burton. In the middle of the night, Holmes nudges Watson awake, and says, "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." "I see millions of stars, my dear Holmes." "And what do you infer from these stars?" "Well, a number of things," he says, lighting his pipe: Astronomically, I observe that there are millions of galaxies and billions of stars and planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I expect that the weather will be fine and clear. Theologically, I see that God is all-powerful, and man, his creation, small and insignificant. What about you, Holmes?" "Watson, you fool. Someone has stolen our tent!"
