Notice Anything Funny About the Sky?

One fine spring weekend Joe-Bob and Buckwheat went to their favorite camping spot for a little R&R. After a good meal, they lay down and went to sleep in their tent. Some hours later, Joe-Bob woke and was a little startled by what he saw. He nudged his good friend to wake him up as well. “Buckwhet, look up at the sky and tell me what you see!”

“I see millions of stars,” Buckwheat said.

“What does that tell you?” Joe-Bob asked.

Buckwheat replied. “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. Meteorologically, I suspect we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Joe-Bob?”

“Buckwheat, you idiot,” he said. “Someone has stolen our tent!”
