Interestingly, Google search for ometerometer returns porn results. If there is an xkcd comic about rule 34 (if it exists, there is porn about it), it could be linked here.--Pere prlpz (talk) 15:48, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Should have taken a screenshot: The link provided under Trivia returns no porn results whatsoever now (yes I have SafeSearch turned off). I'm pretty sure almost any search for a seldom used word or phrase returns a high number of porn results, but I seriously doubt any of the porn was actually about ometerometers, or even featured that word on the page. I think you just got unrelated results. I'm gonna have to say "citation needed" on that one, because the citation given yields no such results. ProphetZarquon (talk) 17:19, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
Yeah, and now xkcd is prominently displayed. Good for you! - Who? (please sign your posts)

Which meters do you enjoy? I'm a particular fan of the Crookes radiometer 141.101.77.116 16:33, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Based almost solely on the exotic name, I'm a particular fan of the sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff), and I'm disappointed that Randall didn't take the opportunity to mention it anywhere. 172.68.46.41 16:44, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Here's the Rule 34 comic: https://xkcd.com/305/

Thank you. I added it to the description.--Pere prlpz (talk) 16:52, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

But no mention of an alethiometer. 172.68.58.113 16:59, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Let's all remember that there are some measurement devices that do not end in -ometer but rather simply in -meter, for example "multimeter", "ohmmeter", "ammeter", etc.
