I don’t know why, but this made my heart grow three sizes.

It is too late to assert the turgid manly rigour of the hard sciences. They have always had girl cooties.  We literally stuck our underwear on your man-machines.

BP historian here: the Wrens (members of the Women’s Royal Naval Service) dried their underwear on Colossus, arguably the first computer, which took up most of a room, and got very warm. An Enigma machine, which is about the size of a typewriter, isn’t going to work very well for knickers-drying purposes. Using a computer designed to break German ciphers though – go for it.
