I can't recall where I read it; I'm sure it was some baseball discussion board somewhere on Al Gore's invention. But a youth league uses a drop-dead rule based upon when a safety light on a sensor that is on a storage trailer illuminates. One of the dumbest things I've ever heard of, since I'm sure the light turns on and off when there's significant cloud cover that later dissipates.
