Greetings.
You’ve reached Aaron’s blog, Weird thing of the day. Aaron isn’t in now, but he would like you to know that tomorrow is Escape Day, which is described thusly by Lesser Known Holidays: “Escape from something today”. Therefore he will be escaping from his blog tomorrow. Sorry.
In the meantime, you can read today’s weird thing, “Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson Camping”, which he’s included below. Note: There seem to be multiple variations on this joke wandering the Internet. Enjoy.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson Camping
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. As they lay down for the night, the fire dwindling nearby, Holmes said: "Watson, look up and tell me what you see".
Watson said "I see a fantastic panorama of countless of stars".
Holmes: "And what does that tell you?"
Watson: "Astronomically, it suggests to me that if there are billions of other galaxies that have roughly similar stellar population densities as represented by my view, that, potentially, trillions of planets may be associated with such a galactic and, therefore, stellar population. Allowing for similar chemical distribution throughout the cosmos it may be reasonably implied that life-and possibly intelligent life-may well fill the universe.
Also, being a believer, theologically, it tells me that the vastness of space may be yet another suggestion of the greatness of God and that we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, the blackness of the sky and the crispness of the stellar images tells me that there is low humidity and stable air and therefore we are most likely to enjoy a beautiful day tomorrow.
Why? - What does it tell you, Mr. Holmes?"
Holmes: "Someone stole our tent".
