The weather rock or weather stone is a humor display that pokes fun at the intricate technology used in modern weather forecasts, as well as the fact that their accuracy is less than perfect. A rock is typically hung from a tripod and accompanied by a sign indicating how to read it.〔Eric Shackle, (Found - World's Oldest Weather Stone ), Open Writing, March 26, 2006, retrieved February 11, 2011.〕 == Instructions for "analyzing" weather with the weather stone == Some examples of the instructions for the weather stone include: *If the rock is wet, it's raining. *If the rock is swinging, the wind is blowing. *If the rock casts a shadow, the sun is shining. *If the rock does not cast a shadow and is not wet, the sky is cloudy. *If the rock is not visible, it is foggy. *If the rock is white, it is snowing. *If the rock is coated with ice, there is a frost. *If the ice is thick, it's a heavy frost. *If the rock is bouncing, there is an earthquake. *If the rock is under water, there is a flood. *If the rock is warm, it is sunny. *If the rock is missing, there was a tornado. *If the rock is wet and swinging violently, there is a hurricane. *If the rock has white splats on it, watch out for birds. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Weather rock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
