Literary Quote of the Day

"Holmes and Watson are on a camping trip.  In the middle of the night Holmes wakes up and gives Dr. Watson a nudge.  'Watson,' he says, 'look up in the sky and tell me what you see.'
'I see millions of stars, Holmes,' says Watson.
'And what do you conclude from that, Watson?'
Watson thinks for a moment.  'Well,' he says, 'astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.  Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.  Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.  Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.  Theologically, I see that God is all-powerful, and we are small and insignificant.  Uh, what does it tell you, Holmes?'
'Watson, you idiot!  Someone has stolen our tent!'"
