I'm particularly fond of the resistor network. 

Thanks for Sharon.

Oh Man! they had to use a Flux Capacitor right of I-95. You know how hard  it is to find a decent affordable Flux Capacitor? I'm telling you, it's tough.

I like the lack of current limit from the electric eel to the neck strap and tongue contact.

I believe the schematic has an error. The 'Moral Rectifier' is incorrectly shown backward. You can read more about a 'Larom Rectifier' at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAROM. I believe it can be quite effective in rectifying certain situations.

I like that Batman isn't specified. Swap out Adam West for Christian Bale or any in-between

I'm a big fan of XKCD and this one was one of my favorites.  The more you know about electronics and schematics, the funnier it is. 

Check out the" "money poster and the "universe on a log scale".  I have no affiliation.  Just love the art and the humor.

How do I get this poster for my wall while I wait for the finished product?  Hopefully, this unfortunate leak won't allow some unscrupulous third-world wannabe to beat Doc & Co. to market.

Nah,  the  unscrupulous third-world wannabes are already light years ahead with such techniques as "gall bladder rectification" and the like... Speaking of which.... WHERE is the Gall Bladder in this circuit??

I did entertain the thought of doing that for a few moments then decided there were other things to do.  Yes, seriously!

I was thinking the same thing but reconsidered since I didn't want to appear too tube-geeky.
