We think they're having a bit of fun with tourists, in that very droll British manner, but it's funny, and it does tell the weather -- so we'll waymark it (maybe)

An "early Bermuda weather rock" hangs from a chain on a tripod with a helpful weather telling guide at Fort Scaur national Park on Somerset Island, Sandy's Parish, Bermuda.
The sign next to the rock reads:
"EARLY BERMUDA WEATHER STONE
This stone is the perfect weather indication:
A dry stone means . . . It is not raining.
A wet stone means . . . It is raining.
A shadow under the stone means . . . The sun is shining.
If the stone is swinging it means . . . There is a strong wind blowing.
If the stone jumps up and down it means. . . There is an earthquake.
If ever it is white on top . . . Believe it or not . . . It is snowing."
Blasterz are major stinkers in their own right, and have played their share of pranks on both the deserving and unsuspecting alike. It would be great fun to watch the tourists when they encounter this thing. So we feel the stinkerism is very high in this Early Bermuda Weather Rock -- but maybe it makes a fun waymark, yes?
