Baldo: The stars are awesome cool tonight. Baldo: how many do you think there are? Gracie: Four thousand, six hundred and fifty tow. Baldo: You counted every single one? Gracie: Of course not! That would be crazy. Gracie: I'm sure I missed one or two.
The number of stars visible in the sky (from an area without urban light pollution) is precisely the same as the number of hairs on an adult bear. Hence the “Ursa major” and “Ursa minor” constellations named in their honor. Anyone who doubts me is welcome to count both on their own, and thereby prove me wrong.
