Mysteriously your

I adore the riddles! Having a profile rather scientific, what could seem paradoxical with my passion of letters and drawing (I shall explain you it in a next article), I am extremely curious and I like understanding the things.
So I solve riddles on various sites as Prise2Tête or E.A.T.
I use mathematical formulae, stylistic devices, constraints of Oulipo. I develop my skills in various domains, I maintain my reflection and I try e to work my memory. And, " the icing(cherry) on the cake ", I discover heaps and heaps of fascinating, comic, funny anecdotes, stranged and sometimes dramatic also.

I tell you any some for the pleasure?

I begin with the legend around the logo of the company Apple which fascinated me. It is known a little more since the movie "Imitation Game" that went out in 2014. Alan Turing, mathematician and cryptologue English, and at the origin of the first computers. He saved us the life during the Second World War by creating a machine named "Enigma" capable of deciphering the codes of the Germans. Which allowed to thwart many attacks.
The problem, it is that Alan Turing was a homosexual, and in the time it was not tolerated. Thus he had to undergo a chemical castration. It was unbearable for him, and, as unconditioned fan of Snow White and seven dwarfs whose he whistled the song frequently, Alan would have committed suicide by eating a poisoned apple.
Sad history which also shows to what extent the man can be inhuman sometimes. I ignore if the link with the apple outlined by Apple is real, but if it is the case, then it is a great tribute.

The legend also tells that there would be a code, although he would not be respected by the set of the sculptors, concerning equestrian statues. The position of the horse would allow to determine the death of his rider. For example, if the horse has both raised lower limbs, his rider would have died in the fight. On the other hand, if his four clogs affect the ground, the rider would have had a natural death. If alone the right lower limb is raised, the rider would have succumbed to the consequences of his wounds.

Another anecdote than I find very funny it is the one of the Invisible Pink Unicorn which we name "its roseur". This is a parody of the religion resting on the paradox that she is pink and invisible at the same time. The idea would have be born at Usenet and would have then was developed by a group of students of Iowa.
Afterward, Steve Eley's manifesto would have activated(started) even sillier articles on this faith as its tendency for the raisin bun symbolizing the expanding universe or still his(her) association in the mystery of socks missing person in the laundry basket. The latter would be a sign of favor.
The pink unicorn prefer pineapple and ham pizzas, but would not like peppers. Her sworn enemy would be the purple oyster which would formerly have been a servant of the invisible pink unicorn. But, having tried to convince believers that the unicorn preferred pepperoni pizzas, this one would have been banished pastures and would have been sent back towards the bad absolute.
