Heh, I remember learning that Ampere was a person from the Radio Shack 70′s era comic books ("history of electronics" maybe?)

Next time I solder up a board, that’s what I’m going to wear.

So, for M the poor guy’s gotta draw Mosfet the Cat using a multimeter on a MOSFET connected to a microcontroller that’s controlling a motor. Sheesh, have a heart!

T definitively need a drawing of the genius Tesla.

I is for current, but I’ve never been able to figure out why. E is for Voltage, of course (Electromotive force).
And another vote for Tesla. Brilliant *and* crazy! Anyone who builds towers to generate lightning is my kind of guy.
