Finally, you can tell the ambient temperature by counting chirps of a cricket. (Most of the time) To convert cricket chirps to degrees Fahrenheit, count number of chirps in 14 seconds then add 40 to get temperature. Example: 30 chirps + 40 = 70° F

Really? If true, I'm going to steal this info.

If you are on the water and look towards a setting sun (over the water) you can tell when you have 30 minutes before sunset. Hold your arm out in front of you, hold your three fingers (not your pinky) parallel to the horizon (ring finger just above the horizon) and your pointer finger towards the sky. When the sun is just touching your pointer finger, you have 30 minutes left before sunset. Works with all size fingers and arm lengths.
