Since a lot of new poeple probably don't know that turing is named for this man:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing

appearenty, he turned into a woman partly, before his death.

And then there's all that stuff about how he is one of the most important people in the development of early computers.

No wonder they named Turing after him. A gay programming language for a gay man.

Am I the only one who finds it really disrespectful that, considering he died by eating a cyanide-laced apple, his memorial statue pictures him sitting on a bench EATING AN APPLE?? That just seems like adding insult to injury to me... not a very respectful way to honor his memory if you ask me =/

The apple has always been a symbol of intelligence.

wow, a man who got convicted of being gay, grew breasts, then ate a poisoned apple. Sounds... I dunno, like bad luck to me.
