Would it have been logical for Alan Turing to have made a map of the burial site before he buried it?

I remember seeing the clown egg registry on a 1968 episode of The Avengers, the British TV show staring Patrick Macnee.

Those circus performers don’t clown around when it comes to copyrights.

The Logician Husband

A wife asks her husband, “Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have avocados, get six.”

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.

The wife asks him, “Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk?”

He replied, “Because they had avocados, of course!”

The ACM A. M. Turing Award is an annual prize given by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) for contributions of lasting and major technical importance to computer science. It is generally recognized as the highest distinction in the field of computer science and is often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of Computing”.

In the case of Alan Turing all that praise is far too little far too late! He deserved it when he was alive.

Someone went and toured the Fools Guild.

Or Mexican Tribal Boots that are still worn today.

Yeah, I’m sure they were quite fancy. And quite the gentlemen.

What’s more disturbing than “real clowns”?Clown eggs….. good grief.

My FIL said he buried $ in the backyard, after he died, they never did find it.

I didn’t know clowns laid eggs

Alan must’ve been my age when he buried. Can’t find a blasted thing when I’m looking for it.

We used to occasionally go to a bar in Great Notch, Rte 46, NJ that was hangout for motorcycle bikers, especially Harleys. We would admire the bikes and notice how no too were exactly alike, all customized in some way among the 50 or so bikes that were there, just like the clowns in this BION. Some of them probably cost around the equivalent of 150 pounds of silver.

Someone will find a lost 150 lb silver treasure 1000 years from now.

Trudeau is the most famous clown in that registry

It’s considered an “unofficial crime” for a circus clown to copy another performer’s face.It’s a judge of your talent to come up with original makeup

Long shoes like that made it impossible to perform manual labour or just about anything like. It was show of wealth. “I am so well off that I don’t have to work”

Where did Turing live? I want to buy his house and try my metal detector.

Turing was predicting the loss of a bitcoin key today!

I see FIVE clowns!

Funny, I just learned the Turing fact this week.

Today that silver is worth $2,159,700.

is a fancy gentleman something akin to a nancy boy?

Just as I was thinking that I’d have to watch my DVD series again, because I don’t remember that episode, I saw that it is a Linda Thorson episode. I much prefer Diana Riff, and did not watch it too much after she left the series.

Pointy shoes are still a thing, go on youtube and search for “mexican pointy boots.”

OMG! I never would have believed clowns get paid enough to afford to buy eggs!

An elderly Italian man living alone in New Jersey

wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,

‘I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.’

Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Pop,

‘Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.’

Love, Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop,

‘Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.’

Love you,
