In ancient times, people would hire fortune tellers to predict the weather for them. War preparations and agricultural efforts relied heavily on these predictions, which were sadly a big pile of baloney. What these archaic civilizations should’ve done, was get there hands on one of these storm glass weather predictors! These bad boys are hypersensitive to changes in weather and display their tellings in real time. They form certain patterns with its liquid to indicate specific predictions; a chaotic pattern corresponds to a cloudy day, while a crystallized pattern corresponds to a stormy day (click here to check out its complete chart of configurations!). I know, it’s a little suspicious. But its the same technology used on Charles Darwin’s voyage on the Beagle!
