don't be fooled, a cheep multimeter isn't going to measure your cap 
accuratly at all.
I have a military grade 10 nF cap, and I used a cheap multimeter to get an 
"accurate" uF count. The cheap multimeter couldn't read the cap!! You need 
EXPENSIVE, or hard to come by equipment to get an accurate uF rating!

A glass bottle cap could easily equal 500 pF or more.....
