It might be better to just get another gerbil.

If you are interested in weather monitoring, why not put chimes on a digital barometer? Have it indicate centimeters using the first 9 beats of a pop song or something, then use maybe a scale of notes to indicate the millimeters. Use 2 difeerent tunes to distinguish a rising from a falling reading.

The barometer would chime each millimeter as it was crossed.

Baked. Who would have thunk it? Good idea, though.

My grandparents had a 19th century grandfather clock which chimed a series of three notes, rising or falling, depending upon barometric pressure changes. I don't know where it is in our family now. I loved the thing when I was a kid. It stood about 8ft tall.

I'd like a barometrically controlled mp3 player. When the pressure is high it plays "Good Day Sunshine," "Sunshine of Your Love," "Blue Skies," etc. As it drops the music gets more and more gloomy, until it's playing "Rain," "Stormy Weather," even "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". Of course, you'd have a thermometer, hygrometer and anemometer hooked into the system, so it would also know when to play "Windy" and "Let It Snow."

This could also be a music channel offered over digital cable.

But [wuagskueqe], how would you ever find a song for it to play after rain, when visibility is good and you can see clearly, after the rain has gone...?

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles. BTW, in my view - Roger Daltrey has the loveliest home in Beverly Hills. I was there for the umpteenth time last night dropping off a script.

Who?

You visited this guy's house umpteen times in a single night? How does he feel about that?

UnaBubba, Mar 15 2002

At least Daltry could see him coming.

"I can see clearly now, the rain is gone"
