The following is a joke taken from a student newspaper published
by our Dept. of EE.
###First Law of EE:
Electronics devices work on smoke; as long as the
smoke stays inside the components, they work,
but when the smoke escapes, they don't!
###Second Law of EE:
Wierdness is not conserved, in factt there is an
infinite amount of weirdness in the universe.
Without careful attention, most electronic circuits will
amplify, or even create weirdness.
The most important think to know about weirdness is that
the only thing that can absorb it is capacitors.
In cases of excessive weirdness, throw on a few capacitors.
**NOTE: We have all heard of the dangers of PCB's
in the environment, but most people don't know
why they are dangerous. PCB's have a very high coefficient
of weirdness absorption. This makes them very useful
for making capacitors and transformers. What people
don't know is that PCB's become unstable in the lon-term
and all of teh weirdness that they absorbed over the
years leaks out in its raw and deadly form.
