Zener Diode

A Zener diode is a type of diode that permits current in the forward
direction like a normal diode, but also in the reverse direction if
the voltage is larger than the breakdown voltage known as "Zener knee
voltage" or "Zener voltage". The device was named after Clarence
Zener, who discovered this electrical property.

Do cats frequently use zener diodes or just the regular, one-way kind?

Cats are A/C waveform of spontaneously varying frequencies depending on
environment and can be rectified to D/C through the use of properly grilled
fish or a nice brushing.

LOL. I never knew cats were so electrical. I've only noticed cats'
electrical
nature on dry, warm days after petting them.

Like a zener, cats are excellent at regulation. Ours helps regulate
my blood pressure after I've reached my avalanche condition. I would
go as far as saying she's got the greatest cat's whiskers, but I am
biased, I'm positive about that.


Pull over! You have just exceeded the speed limit of 55 puns per minute
here. You can pull over right after the next junction. If we find you
have been doped we will write a ticket to rectify the situation.

You guys are hilarious.
