I heard something to the effect that this was how Alan Turing committed
suicide (note a sub note to net.suicide).  I have yet to look it up, but
what I heard from what was "a reliable source...." was that Turing
refined the poison, coated an apple, and took a bite.  Supposedily
with dramatic flair.  I was thinking of holding a "net.party" in 2000 AD
over AI-List to toast Turing's Philosophy paper which is now known
as the Turing test.  Just an idea to make the 50th anniversry of
it's publication.  I'll have to check up on his cause of death.
