# Shame on Stephen Fry.
Shame on Stephen Fry, who this week during 'QI' gave the impression that Alan Turing designed 'Colossus', the world's first programmable electronic computer. As we all know (or should do), it was proposed and designed by Post Office engineer Thomas 'Tommy' Flowers.

# turing killed himself by eating a poisoned apple

i think he's still in a glass coffin guarded by dwarfs.

# Fry is a cunt
He failed to express every detail of every nuance of the subject he was mentioning briefly within the constraints of an essentially meaningless light entertainment formatted prgramme. He should be sellotaped to a Rancor set loose in war-torn Baghdad. My outrage sustains me, fortunately, as I've nothing else to give.

# Srephen Fry is usually wrong. Why does everyone have so much trust in him. He's they guy who said eating cooked muscles that haven't opened is fine. Ummm, no fucking way!!!!
