At least you aren't alone. The question runs in my family too. My
dad once went into a tire store with a similar question - "How do you
calibrate your tire gauges?" - and they looked at him like he was from
Jupiter.
I suppose there are electronic gauges that are reasonably accurate,
though a calibration certificate is expensive. And then there's this:

Lots more choices here
http://www.longacreracing.com/catalog/catlist.asp?catid=8 including an
"economy" gauge for $40 that "reads to 1/2 lb". No mention of
accuracy, though. Need to go more $$$ to get them to say anything
about that..
I'm curious as to what others may have to say...
