Subject: (NSAAC) Holmes and Watson go to Stellafane

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went to Stellafane.

As they lay down for the night, Holmes said:
"Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you see".

Watson said, "I see thousands and thousands of stars".

Holmes:  "And what does that tell you?"

Watson:  "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and 
potentially billions of planets.  Theologically, it tells me that God is great 
and that we are small and insignificant.  Meteorologically, it tells me that we 
will have a beautiful day tomorrow.  What does it tell you?"

Holmes:  "Somebody stole our tent".
