...."came out" as a male. Not many people know that Bletchley Park was the beginning of Women's Lib; it took decades to catch on because they all spent their time gossiping instead of breaking codes; Ben was brilliant but in a weak moment showed them the algorithm to beat men, and that wrecked it for everyone.

it is also little known, Dear Readers, that it was a direct anticedent of Turbo's who was the 1st Hunter-Gatherer to ever grow wheat, hence the origin of Turbine-Tip Top, which in the Mesopotamian lingo means Toasty White Bread.

Below, Dear Readers, is one of my most precious possessions, having been given to me by Turbo when we were both about 13.

It contains the nursery-rhyme "Mary Had a Little Goat" in his own cuneiform hand/wedge writing, plus a filthy ditty from an old story from one of Turbo's towelhead ancestors, about a dirty weekend away in Babylon.
