I think I found instructions for a meteorological simulation that he made:
| Quote | Place your new meteorological simulation system outside; if you don't put the meteorological simulation system outside, your weather forecast will be unreliable and possibly totally inaccurate. Watch it through a convenient window.
Usually no more than a few seconds, and certainly no more than a minute, are needed to use your new system to check weather conditions:
If it casts a distinct shadow, it's sunny; if it's indistinct, it's partly cloudy or foggy.
Is it wet? Then it's raining.
Did it start rolling and tumbling very fast, quickly moving away from you, and disappearing from view? Then chances are, it's very windy.
Is only the top of it visible above water? Then it's raining very hard. Seek higher ground.
Was your system swept away by swiftly-moving, muddy brown water? Then I'd say it was a flash flood.
If your system is covered with snow, it's snowing.
If it catches on fire, it's very hot and perhaps not a weather phenomenon. Check for nearby mushroom clouds or fast-approaching celestial bodies. |
(Credit where credit is due: I snipped it from this site.)
And Aftershave, the Penthouse parody was my work. Well, actually I cribbed it from some John Prine lyrics.
