Cursed schematic symbol of the week: carcinised NPN (aussie.zone)

You can do all sorts of nifty things when you're designing silicon. Including this abomination.

Source: datasheet for LM161, a high speed (20ns delay) moderately high voltage (30V) comparator. I'm going to try and make a discrete version of some bits of it and see how well it works. Maybe not this triple-emitter NPN though, I draw the line at components that require livestock sacrifices.
