The penis tank is my favourite place to hang out at Bovington. You need to see that thing up close to grasp how big it is.

That's what she said!

I guess that this would be a good time for the regular, all-time-classic, 555-ish trolling...

Who would really need a microcontroller, even of a sub-nanosecond machine cycle one (yet, don't fool yourselves; almost nobody programs in .ASM nowadays --so you certainly can kiss that sub-nanosecond machine cycle flow goodbye!), after the introduction of that legendary 555?

Long live the NE555N timer IC (and the year 1971)!
Long live the Real Men, still proudly going on programming in assembly language or straight in machine code!*

Who is that "Bob"?

[A Hellene]

Who is that "Bob"?

He was the (late) Linear Technology's (late) Bob Pease, a by all means real engineer, along with the also late Bob Widlar, the inventor of the homonymous current source/mirror and a pioneer of the bandgap voltage reference.

Edit: Grammar...

He was the (late) Linear Technology's (late) Bob Pease, a by all means real engineer, along with the also late Bob Widlar, the inventor of the omonymous current source/mirror and a pioneer of the bandgap voltage reference.

[A Hellene]

Yes, this was definitely him!
Thanks, xrunner!

And, along with Bob Pease's office, above, this was his famous signature (clearly visible and comprehensible, in the very last page of that document)!

You see, we should never expect a real engineer to be acting as a used car salesman, for example, because of their radically different mind-sets!...

Bob Pease's office

Thanks, now I feel slightly better about the state of my workspace ...

Once you master the art of stacking, eBay is the vehicle for filling every last cubic inch. The only impediment is your own imagination.

It's like stacking playing cards.

Well now we've got to have a picture of Jim Williams bench...

The picture of him sitting in front of the bench is better. The look on his face... "wut?"

Both of those Bobs did their famous work at (the late) National Semiconductor. For Linear Tech you might be thinking of the (also late) Jim Williams. In fact, burying Williams was the last thing Pease did before his fatal car crash. All is otherwise correct.

Pease had colorfully ranted not just once about the deficiencies and disutility of SPICE simulation. Thence, the Ceiling Bob meme.
