<<I read somewhere that colonials used jars of bear fat as barometers. Apparently the changes in the solidification of animal oils is a function of temperature and pressure. I have no idea how you'd read it. >> Never heard that. I've seen the old time barometers that were a glass container filled with water and had a tube. Once in Canada I had a sow with cubs between me and my truck and a boar popping his teeth in front of me. THAT bear fat caused some of my solids to liquify.
