Horowitz is an entertaining guy, one of the fastest-talking human beings I have ever met, and also the co-author of an excellent book on electronics that explained the behavior of a transistor by telling the reader to imagine it as containing a tiny Transistor Man who did certain things. The physics department had an annual party at which second-year graduate students collaborated on writing and performing a ridiculous puppet show; for it I wrote a sketch at which Horowitz started receiving signals from Transistor Man. I'm not sure how many people got it.
