Alan turing is...REAL!?

Okay Fowler posted this a couple days back and i was amazed, embarrased, shocked, angry, and laughing on the floor at the same time:

"Alan Turing was a British man who was credited with being the father of the computer. Now one would ask, how the hell do you find this out. Well, I'm currently reading The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. It's a good book i suggest you all read it. It really shows how stupid those with religious faith are. Now, Richard Dawkins was talking about the topic of Faith and Homosexuality and he happened to mention Alan Turing. I then thought of Miles Militis, and began laughing. and here is the actual part of the book and the reason i got so much amusement out of it. "Private homosexuality was a criminal offence in Britain up until - astonishingly - 1967. In 1954 the British mathematician Alan Turing, a candidate along with John von Neumann for the title of father of the computer, committed suicide after being convicted of the criminal offence of homosexual behaviour in private. Admittedly Turing was not buried alive under a wall pushed over by a tank. He was offered a choice between two years in prison ( you can imagine how the other prisoners would have treated him) and a course of hormone injections which could be said to amount to chemical castration, and would have caused him to grow breasts. His final, private choice was an apple that he had injected with cyanide."

Son of a bitch Fowler.
