There I was the other day, enjoying a beer with [lukecleland] when I chanced upon the idea that a standard cigarette type lighter would, with only a minimal set of changes be an altogether handy spirit level (for judging the horizontality of walls etc.). Surely an enterprising manufacturer could do the decent thing.

       This will proabably sell. According to the A.N.H.W.Program's "industry Standards", levels are disposable. And who needs a straight edge anyway.
