'Elementary, my dear Watson.'
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are out in the windy moors searching for the Hound of the Baskervilles. They decide to camp overnight in their two man tent and see if they can witness any strange goings on.
After retiring, Watson sleeps for a few hours and is woken by Holmes shaking him vigorously. 'Wake up, Watson! Look up and tell me what you see.'
Watson looks up at the night sky and says, 'I see millions of stars'.
'Yes, of course, but what do you deduce from this?'
Watson thinks carefully and replies,
'From a cosmological perspective I deduce that there are an uncountable number of galaxies in our universe, with more stars than we could ever possibly count. From a theological perspective I deduce that if God exists he must be mighty indeed and from a chronological perspective I deduce that it must be somewhere in the vicinity of 3.00 am. Shall I go on? Tell me Holmes, what do you deduce?'
'You idiot, Watson', says Holmes.
Someone has stolen our tent!
