The Official Nonsense Thread

That mosquito took its love of drinking blood too far. You are not a vampire, little whining creature! It bit me on the neck, for goodness sake!

So, I am back from Bletchley Park and my head is chock full of facts and information. Sadly it will now start to be pushed out by other trivia, or else my brain will file it so far back in the cabinet that it will become difficult to access. Hey ho.

I was very happy to learn about the Enigma machines and I got to see a full-scale replica of the Colossus computer in action. It was amazing! But the things that really blew my mind were the codes that were broken just by some clever sod sitting down with some squared paper and a pencil, sometimes for months on end, and working out how a code with billions of permutations might have been formed, just with the power of the brain. Just amazing.
