Well, seeing as there really arent any takers, think I will turn the bamboo into magical weather wind chimes... They predict the weather... Works like this.... Hang em outside in an open area.
If they are dry, its not raining
If they are wet, its raining
If they are hard to see, its foggy
If they are covered in white, its snowing
If they are chiming, its breezy
If they are screaming, its storming
If they are gone, tornado.
