Someone has stolen our tent!

Sherlock Holmes and his loyal friend Watson went together on a camping trip. After a good meal, they lay down for the night and went to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his friend awake.

"Watson," he said, "look up at the sky and tell me what you see"

"I see millions and millions of stars," Watson replied.

"What does that tell you?" Holmes questioned.

Watson pondered the question and then said, "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. Theologically, I can see that God is all-powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"

Holmes was silent for a minute before speaking. "Watson, you idiot!" he said with a measure of restraint. "Someone has stolent our tent!"
