My mother has never heard of Alan Turing before today.

I'm not expecting her to have memorized the man's biography or anything but... to never have heard the name or read it?

I mean... it's Alan Turing!

I never thought that this was so obscure before.

Nor have I.

...Which is why I'm STILL trying to crack that damned enigma machine!
