According to today's Google Doodle, it's Heinrich Hertz' birthday.

To which I say "booooooooooooooooooooooooooop" - a 1KHz tone.

Bren R.

Is he still alive, or did someone Kilohertz?

Ok, ok. The Hertz humor has peaked, so let's resine from it before it gets dragged into the trough.

I believe it was the super villain Mega Hertz that caused his demise. Dropped him off of a peak and waved goodbye.

Sining off!

Fixed it for ya.

I wish the internet existed in all this glory back when I was going to EET school. I really could have been ready to drop serious one liners after reading this thread.

Even John Mellencamp wrote a song for him on his birthday a few years ago. You know the one, "Hertz So Good".

I'm just going to say Happy Birthday!
