From the Stanford obit:
It was at Stanford in 1952 that Chernoff introduced what probabilists now call the Chernoff bound. The idea proved far more durable than its original application in hypothesis testing: generations later, it’s become a standard tool in computer science and electrical engineering, used to guarantee that the error rate of an algorithm stays acceptably small.

Now, that's pretty interesting.

Man that one hits. I've had a few Charvels over the years (mainly play Jacksons now) and love superstrats. Him and Grover are legends.

I know some younger players find super strats dated and I can completely understand the distain of locking trems but super strats are always will be cool to me. It was a cool period of trying to see how they can make the strat more cutting edge and you still see it today with Suhr and Anderson.
