My copy of /The Secret Life of Circuits/ arrived today. Actually... Two copies arrived?
Anyone want a book about electronics?

![Picture of text (Wikipedia excerpt):
Stephen is chiefly remembered in connection with his conduct towards the remains of Pope Formosus. The rotting corpse of Formosus was exhumed and put on trial, before an unwilling synod of the Roman clergy, in the so-called Cadaver Synod in January 897. Pressure from the Spoleto contingent and Stephen's fury with Formosus probably precipitated this extraordinary event. [4] With the corpse propped up on a throne, a deacon was appointed to answer for the deceased pontiff. During the trial, Formosus's corpse was condemned for performing the functions of a bishop when he had been deposed and for accepting the papacy while he was the bishop of Portus, among other revived charges that had been levelled against him in the strife during the pontificate of John VIII. The corpse was found guilty, stripped of its sacred vestments, deprived of three fingers of its right hand (the blessing fingers), clad in the garb of a layman, and quickly buried; it was then re-exhumed and thrown in the Tiber. All ordinations performed by Formosus were annulled. [5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ikfkekakfz77jjpeer54hn5z/bafkreicrkv4l3wtjgbkov65dcugggvjvjydr2qa2yg72xmcxb66pa5ejfy)
