[net.misc] a last word on barometers

wa125 (06/04/82)

My own, small, contribution to the barometer literature.

Fine barometer in hand, stand at the very edge of the roof whose
height is to be measured, drop the thing overboard, and yell out
at the very top of your lungs, "OH MY GOD, MY BEAUTIFUL BAROMETER!!".
Then jump after it.  The next day, from hospital bed, if you survived,
you can read all about it in the paper:  
"Man Plummets 15 Stories After Barometer (210 feet)"
