PIC in 74LS clothing

Microcontrollers NOT ALLOWED (Or how to subtly troll your college instructor), in which a couple of guys in an electronics class are asked to build a circuit using discrete components, and...

I figured it'd be fun to mess with the instructor's sanity by hiding a microcontroller inside one of the logic chips, and having it briefly flash (occasionally vulgar) messages onto the seven segment display when left idle

Also worth thinking about in terms of what you trust, it's especially interesting to see how they hid the microcontroller inside the 74LS193.
