#1 Turing was prosecuted in 1952 for homosexual acts. He accepted hormone treatment with DES, a procedure commonly referred to as chemical castration, as an alternative to prison. Turing died on 7 June 1954, 16 days before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined his death as a suicide JUST BRUTAL FOR A MAN THAT CONTRIBUTED SO MUCH
#12 I've been on the much vaunted autobahns, most of the time it was stop and go, or slow, with no chance to speed. Did get up to speed a few times though...
#8 I witnessed that with my MIL. But I also got that feeling while reading 'Hersenschimmen' (Out of mind) by J.Bernlef. The main character seems to get more clear when crawling towards his death.
"TIL that Alan Turing (cryptographer responsible for breaking the Nazi Enigma code during World War II) was also an Olympic-level runner and he developed a new field of biology out of his fascination with daisies"

A british admiral later stated: 'If the admirality had known about Turings homosexuality, we would have lost the war.'
I never knew it was scientifically named.
