    ...with the recent release of LOTR, Alan Turing has been found to be the originator of DNS and somewhat megalomaniac, as evidenced by this inscription:

    One Rule Turing them all
    One Find Turing them,
    One Bring Turing them all
    And in the darkness BIND them

    (Who knew Tolkien was secretly dyslexic?)

    Score=Funny - Right on!

    I'm sorry, I don't what you mean by "Turing Test". Perhaps we can talk about something else for a while.
