Which reminds me of the famous limerick by Ronald Knox:

There was a young man who said, "God
Must think it exceedingly odd
if he finds that this tree
continues to be
When there's no one about in the quad."

Dear Sir: Your astonishment's odd.
I am always about in the Quad.
And that's why the tree
Will continue to be,
Since observed by
Yours faithfully, God.
