It's true, the outdoor temperature can be determined by counting the chirps made by crickets.

FFS, I know the approximate temperature and relative humidity by assessing how hot or cold I feel - I don't need to listen to Jimminy's chirping then do calculus at NASA level to know if I put on tracky dakz or shorts.

It is so disappointing that money is forked out Willy Nelly to research such crap.

Imagine if we used that same money for research of some value to man.

Dont forget to *donate* to Snopes as well, such a great source of accurate independent information.no no  furious
