“...an anecdote reported by Plato recounts how the early Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus (Aristotle calls him one of the first philosophers) was once so absorbed looking up and studying the stars that he fell into a well; a passing girl mocked him, saying that while he might know the movements of the heavens he didn't know what was directly under his feet.”
