Other Types of Ometers

In addition to thermometers (temperature), hygrometers (humidity), and anemometers (wind speed), there exists a bevy of other, less-celebrated devices used to measure naturally-ocurring phenomena.

The following is as complete a listing as the author cares to compile. A more exhaustive compendium may exist elsewhere, probably on the world wide whateverthingy, but my googlometer tells me it's not worth researching.

Complaints and additions should be forwarded to the author. He will forward them back to you for reforwarding.


1. Meterometer: Measures anything one meter long.

2. Nanometer: Measures the amount of delicious bread needed to sop up the juices of any particular Indian dish.
