|I remember another silly device I saw as a joke in "Electronic Design". This is starting to get away from computers, but Elektor, an electronics construction magazine, regularly inserts an "April Fool" circuit in their collections. One circuit consisted of two diodes back to back, and a wire link shorting them. The caption for the circuit was: Zero Volt Reference. A addendum noted that the circuit was even more effective without the diodes.
