Olde Galileo
About two Christmas' ago, I bought a Galileo thermometer
for my book shelf, over the computer.....You know one of
those things full of a fluid and five floating balls.....It is a
nice novelty......
Well today I looked up and my "red ball" was dropping.....
This meant that the temperature in my computer room
was 80F......Then I checked, my newly purchased 2006
electronic weather station......Indoor computer room
temperature was 79.5F.......
Let's hear it for Galileo.......With all the modern technology
his little tube of fluid and colored floating balls was only
0.5F "off" and it was designed some 375, or so, years
ago.......Pumps
