    The stupid British fools killed him. Damn you!

    Turing commited suicide, because he was a compulsive gay. I would get these hurges, and just needed to rape a boy. He did, was very ashamed of himself, and killed himself...

    Otherwise, the guy was a brilliant computer scientist.

    Yeah, I will agree. And I've noticed that often, right next to Turing, physically, is a machine named Hoare. I always found that a little funny. Almost as if the guys who set them up were trying to say "Turing was a manwhore!".

    Then again, maybe it's just me.

    Is it true that he and Rudy played butt-darts? Is Turing a homosexual in real life?

    Imagine for a second if all the homophobic people in the US knew that a gay man saved millions of lives by breaking encryption. Would anyone's attitudes have been any different post-ww2?
