I would have thought Chris Knight and Mitch Taylor would have had a hand in it.
Well their project was later classified by the US Government.

I like this typo.

Yeah I saw that too - I'm sure they meant gerManium, but it's cool to think I could turn my geranium plant into a transistor! Of course, it would be a PNP transistor - Pink N Pretty.
If you write down the exact line and column and ask them to look at it, would that make it an index of reflection?
