the funniest answer i've ever seen for measuring the height of a building
with a barometer was:

	"take the barometer to a person who knows the building well, say,
	 the doorman, and barter.  'i will give you this barometer if
	 you tell me how high tall this building is' "

most of the other answers were 'scientificish' in nature -- this is still
the best answer.


	GOOD ANSWER, GOOD ANSWER!,

are really interesting.
