I think "Pin Roulette" is a pun on [[wikipedia:Penn Jillette|Penn Jillette]], the talkative half of the [[wikipedia:Penn & Teller|Penn & Teller]] magic act, and maybe also a reference to [[wikipedia:chatroulette|chatroulette]].

:Possible, but I'd stick with the simple explanation - that the "Pin Roulette" pin selects a random function when the connector's plugged in.

In addition to pins being able to carry both data and power, or to carry multiple bits at a time, some pins function as clock signal pins that indicate bit boundaries rather than themselves carrying data; therefore I also think the claim should be either omitted or changed entirely. | In addition to pins being able to carry both data and power, or to carry multiple bits at a time, some pins function as clock signal pins that indicate bit boundaries rather than themselves carrying data; therefore I also think the claim should be either omitted or changed entirely. |
