Title: Weather forecasting
Post by: isbister on November 16, 2006, 16:17:13
 There's only one method for accurate local weather reading, it's the famous Forecasting Stone

Take a rock about the size of your fist, knot a string on it and hang it from a branch or a bracket where you can see it from the safety of indoors. To forecast the weather simply look at stone and refer to the following chart:


STATUS OF STONE                                     FORECAST

Stone is wet                                               Raining

Stone is dry                                                Not raining

Stone casts shadow                                   Sunny

Stone is white on top                                  Snowing

Stone is swinging                                        Windy

Stone gone                                                  Very windy

Can't see stone                                           Foggy


Never fails.

Not sure weather Isbister should call it the THE ROLLING thunder STONES or the  STONE the CROWS, haven't the FOGGYEST really. Should put the WIND up the barometer company's thou, probally get a FROSTY reception from them. Start your own company call it Isbister and SUN, I FORECAST a BRIGHT future you can do it, it should be BREEZE bye for now.   KEVIN.
