Odd Frog-Based Weather Sensor
 Those wacky French. A company in France has developed a combination barometer, thermometer, hygrometer, and data logger shapped like a frog. (Wasn't the term "frog" a slur against the French?)
Attach the device to your serial port (what no USB??) and you can start tracking weather trends on your PC. The software actually looks pretty interesting, but let's just say we're not especially motivated to take readings from a rubber frog every day.
