Yea.. I'll bite:

403,922,287 different functions Wow...with 8 buttons! You'd kinda run out of combinations at 40,320 or so wouldn't you? I suggest we ask nailshooteRobert. He knows about those sort of things.

While it only measures in 100ths, it large enough that you could estimate the last digit. I've got 2 rain gauges in my back yard, one of them being the CoCoRaHS. It's accurate, large and very durable.
