Serious request for a frivolous article:

Several years ago, in an April Fool's issue of some digital design mag
was a one-page product announcement for a WOM----a write-only-memory.
Included a picture of a DIP, gave pin assignments, signal levels, timings, etc.
Also suggested that a block of clear white pine would suffice.

Surely someone still has a copy of this taped on the wall!
I need the bibliographic citation (for reference from  a serious paper);
please respond by Email as I am not a reqular reader of comp.lsi.

[It's complicated to explain how the concept of a WOM can be useful, but it is.]
