More than 1% of the bad thru-hole era diodes I found had cracks in the
glass. Some of them were missing chunks of glass.

Same as the TO-220 lead bending failures. Somewhere around here in
one of my tool boxes I have a red plastic strip that you drop
resistors (or diodes) into a slot with the lead spacing you want and
bend without stress.

Mine was blue. No idea where it is now.

Same here. I was going to post a picture, but I couldn't find it :-(

The picture, the post, or the horse tied to the post?


"The horse may talk" ;-)

Mister Ed????
Is that you typing instead??
Or is it a neigh-bor?

The king sentenced some peasant to death for some triviality. The peasant,
at his sentencing, said to the king, "Your majesty, if you postpone my
death for one years' time, I will teach your horse to talk. Yours will be
the only kingdom in the realm whose king's horse can talk! How about it?"
So, the king says, "OK, one year." About six months later, he's in the
stable, still babbling at the horse, and the poop-shoveler guy asks, "Why
did you make such a stupid claim?" And the peasant says, "Well, I got a
year of life. The king could die, there could be a revolution, I could die
of natural causes, and who knows? The horse may talk."

Cheers!
Rich
