One afternoon the famous private detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick Dr. Watson decided to go camping. So they drove out to the woods and set up camp, pitched their tent under the stars, and later went to sleep.
Some time during the middle of the night, Holmes woke Watson up and said, “Watson, look up at the sky, and tell me what you see.”
So Watson looked up and replied, “I see millions and millions of stars.”
Holmes then asked, “And what do you deduce from that?”
Watson thought for a moment and then explained, “Well, if there are millions of stars, if even a few of those stars are actually planets, then it’s quite likely there are some planets like the Earth out there. And if there are any planets like Earth out there, then it's also quite possible that there may also be life.”
Holmes gave a quick scowl and then retorted, “Watson, you imbecile, what it means is that somebody stole our tent!”
