For example, one night, Watson and Holmes were lying on their backs on a piece of lawn and were staring up into the sky, at thousands of thousands of twinkling stars. "What conclusion, my dear Watson, do you draw from the view above us?" Holmes asked his faithful companion. Watson stared into the blackness above them and offered: "The profane observation would be that there are millions of stars above our very heads." "And...?" Holmes queried. "And from that the astrological conclusion would be that there must be thousands of galaxies and milky ways in the universe." "That's too far away." Watson was put down. "The theological conclusion would be that, there being millions of stars just like this one out there, we are but as small as insects, God's humble creature." "I didn't intend to discuss philosophy here, stick to the facts, please." Was all Holmes commented on this conclusion. "Beats me. What did I miss?" "My dear Watson," Holmes commenced, "from the fact that above our heads we can clearly perceive the stars and the sky, I deduce" Holmes paused for more effect "that our tent was stolen while we were sleeping." { You can thank M.
