I remember another silly device I saw as a joke in "Electronic Design".
It appeared in 1984 or so and was called the NIXONFET.
It was a three terminal device with said terminals named as follows:
1) waterGATE
2) unimpeachableSOURCE
3) economicDRAIN.
it was noted that the device operated in the fully depleted mode.
