different perspectives ?
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner
and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep.Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. “Watson,
look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”“I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes” replies Watson.
“And what do you deduce from that?” asks Holmes.
Watson ponders for a minute. “Well, it tells me a lot of things.
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 can see that God is all powerful, and that we
are a small and insignificant part of the universe. But . . . what does it
tell you, Holmes? ”Holmes is silent for a moment or two. Then he says :
” Watson, you are an idiot ! Someone has stolen our tent!”
