Something funny...

A friend of mine has been to the UK lately and showed my a funny picture he took on his trip.
There was a hampen little string hanging on a sign which in fact was a quite primitive weather gauge. It looked like this:

..........................................O
......................................... /\
If string sways..................|/|......it's windy
..........................................|/|
If string stays sideways....|/|......it's very windy
..........................................|/|
If string casts shadow... ....\|\.....it's sunny
...........................................|/|
If string casts no shadow.. |/|....it's cloudy
.......................................... /-/
If string is wet....................|/|.....it's raining
...........................................|/|
If string is dry.....................|/|.....it's not raining
...........................................|/|
If string is stiff..................../-/.....it's freezing
..........................................|/|
If string is invisible............. \|\......it's night
..................................._.......|/|
......................................\|\_/-/...<<<- - - CHEAP STRING ILLUSTRATION
....................................... \---/

Made my laugh *lol*
