10/26/08(Sun)04:31 No.2538303This was news two days ago. When we had three threads at the same time for more than twelve hours in here.
It seemed a lot of people were not aware, but here goes:
Alan
Turing, the Brit who invented computing and the machine that cracked
the German Nazi codes in WW2 was gay. They found out in 1952 and
charged him for public indecency (same as they had done for Oscar
Wilde) and gave him two options, go to jail or chemicals. Chemicals
effectively castrated him. Two years later he injected cyanide in an
apple and committed suicide. They found his body with the bitten apple
next to it, which is Apple's symbol. This is also why you see some
ultra religious guys claim computers are evil because a homosexual
invented them, which is flat out wrong as he had nothing to do with
computers themselves, he invented computing, a different thing.
Anyhow, that's it. |
