Although it might appear that this is the first line of a joke, - to which the answer would be "Dog-gone!" - it really happened.

Newton's dog, named "Diamond" accidentally caused a candle to fall onto a pile of papers, destroying the only records of 2 years of research.

Knowing that there was nothing he could do about it, apparently Newton simply stroked the dog and said:

"Oh Diamond, you do not know what mischief you have done me!"

This is a warning to everyone to be sure you have a backup of important files on your computer - and other places.
