A photo of a woodlouse next to a 7408 logic gate integrated circuit package showing how similar they are. Some very silly person has labeled the location of the AND gates on the woodlouse.

   * Isopods have 7 pairs of legs all pretty much the same length.

   * 74** logic gates have ... 7 pairs of legs all the same length!

   Coincidence? I think not!

   Clearly, each isopod contains 4 logic gates. This Armadillidium vulgare has 4 AND gates. Don't forget to connect power & ground legs & use pull-down resistors on inputs.

   (best practice is to simply ask the rollie to position itself in your circuit.)

   Like most natural systems. they use micro-voltages, don't use standard 5V power sources.
