Given what people pay for a pair of socks from Elvis, or a burned toast resembling the face of Jesus, 500,000 $ sounds like a rather low price for an item like that.
My very first thought was that was an incredibly low price. Honestly I would personally have bid higher had I known it was being auctioned.
I mean, if I had Horace’s riches.
I would only bid if you did. I would drive up the price to your maximum, a point I would know because of my ability to read minds. Then I would post on TNCR a list of philanthropic projects you could have used that money for. Defeated financially and spiritually, you would retire from TNCR in shame. Only to be welcomed back by my own benevolent hand of forgiveness. Humbled and improved, you would return, wearing your Caligula ring, now engraved with a simple “H” in honor of this greatest transformative experience of your life.

@Horace The beautifully balanced and downright songlike cadence of your post above, I can only say, makes me sigh in appreciation.

Horace has kissed both the Blarney Stone and Caligula's ring.

@Klaus A Bob Newhart sketch.
A roomful of monkeys, each sitting at a desk and banging away on a typewriter. Men in white coats wandering the aisles, observing. One of them stops, stares, and cries, "Jim! Jim! Get over here, quick!" The other man joins the first, who points to what the monkey had typed: "To be or not to be, that is the geframenplatz."

The 555 was not the first IC.
The first IC was invented in 1958 by an engineer at Texas Instruments.

Trivia: eggs fully form in the ovaries of fetuses. That means the egg that became you was once inside the body of your grandmother.
