#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.

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.
