Funny photo found on face book. Hope it appeals to forum humour and suitable comments please.
mine are.... resistor values must be in Meg- ohms as they must be “millions” of them. The chip is a
555 timer (in the form of an “egg” timer).

Hi,
I found another 'risque' photo on Facebook showing how the components are 'made', nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Cheers, Pete.

It looks like one has it's tail attached to it's head - always a genetic mutation

I might be [hopefully] better on biology than electronics.

Re the 555 timer, I can say that the Post Office Engineer Entry Exam had me baffled about AND/OR Gates in the seventies but could this actually be an IMPREGNATE

Just an update....
I see no capacitors around especially the ones made in Holland as we all know "Dutch caps " prevent conception.
i have found the 'risque' photo "tractorfan" was on about (the one with LED heads?) Would the mods like to approve it first? and if so how to do it.

Probably not worth risking our U rating. I'm sure Pete or SW will be happy to pass it on.
