“Even at the present very early stage of transistor development it seems certain that transistors will replace vacuum tubes in almost every application. A large part of the improvement in the performance of the device is due to the development of a new design called the ‘junction transistor.’ The early units consisted of a germanium crystal touched by two closely spaced fine wires—‘cat’s whiskers.’ In the junction transistor this point-contact arrangement has been replaced by a large-area contact. It therefore operates more efficiently and consumes far less power.”

—Scientific American, August 1951

The hell you say! what about the UFOs and reverse engineering the spaceships??

 

Psssttt the design for the transistor came from Area 51!

 

Thank you Mr. SamR these youngsters today have no idea.
We'll just keep this between us.

Psssttt, Area 51 is a cover story, the transistor came from Area 1!

 

So that's where the jackalope came from!!!

 

Great!Now everybody knows I thought we're going to keep this between us. Ok,Mr nsaspook your in. But don't tell anybody else got it?? Hell I didn't even notice the jackalope you're good!!

 

 

I watched something about coconut crabs, now I want to check if a crab/lobster would really crush my finger if allowed ?? And they won't even let go, and they can't be reasoned with.

I was in Florida not long ago and at dusk the small crabs come out along the water line. They're much too small to eat - maybe soup - but they can and will easily grab your foot with enough force to draw blood. I wouldn't mess with a larger one.

 

I'm a bit of a procrastinator, and I have to say that this thought had an impact on me:
