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?"
Watson ponders for a minute.
"Well, 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. What does it tell you, Holmes?"
Holmes is silent for a moment. "Watson, you idiot!" he says. "Someone has stolen our tent!"

Reda.....have you been visiting those coffee shops AGAIN? :)

Which brings me of a little joke amongst the Dutch. I always have to laugh, when I visit the US, and people ask me if I want to go to a coffee shop to get some coffee.

We call a place where you get coffee, a café. But a coffee shop, is where they have soft drugs on the menu. The reason why we call them coffee shops, because in the past. Either the government gave people either a liquor license, or a soft drug license. They could not get both. Hence why, with your drugs, you could only get coffee and other things without alcohol. Hence coffeeshops are specifically used for the establishments they sell hash.

Is Ocean's 12 out yet in the US? They filmed in one of my favourite places to "hang out."
