Right? It's fun to be young and cute and crazy, but once the youth and cuteness gives way to scary, crazy isn't so much fun any more.

I read somewhere that this lady is 80 years young. I'd like to have some of what she's taking. :bolt:

I have been fascinated by "code breakers" ever since movies
and books came out with their super heroic action stories.

This morning, Sundae's post about Alan Turing set me off on internet surfing
to find out how he and 400 Wrens (and a lot of other people)
were actually able to break the German Enigma codes
... with pencil and paper and a few ingeniously designed mechanical bombes.

This Wiki article about BOMBE is close enough to layman's language to be "decipherable".

Here is a teaser:

A graph of the letters of a crib and ciphertext expressed
as a graph to provide a menu which specifies how to set up a bombe run.
This example is somewhat unusual in that it contains as many as three loops.

I keep expecting those two to pop up in a Lemon Party situation...They do look to be having fun in those 'mad selfies', though.

have an interest in Bletchley (or Station X as it was called) because my Dad worked there in WWII.
When I ask him about it all he'll talk about is being stuck in a compound with 400 women!

best book (of many) I've read about it is 'Colossus - The Secrets of Bletchley Park's Codebreaking Computers' by Professor B. Jack Copeland.
Sounds dull but don't be fooled, it reads better than a blockbuster novel.
available on paper or amazon kindle.

Dude has two, complete, functioning dicks. I shit you not.

The above link is SFW-ish, no pics. The links to the 'proof' .jpgs, are NSFW.

You gotta see it them.
