I think it was Edison, though some attribute the quote to Einstein. Just like the much quoted "TANSTAAFL" is wrongly attributed to Friedman.

Old chestnut - Typewriter!

Hey, isn't this "frankenstein"? So was it Mary Shelley herself? better guess- It was a guy called Victor Frankenstein, after whom she named it "frankenstein's monster". (Or have I made a flower of myself ?)

c)?

2) rugby

3)Andy Bichel?...remember him having a good WC with both bat and ball

Nope, the question is, who was the illustrator of the book...

[This much I remembered. It was sung by the sinister old pirate who stayed in the inn of the hero's father.]
[Then googled for the rest. It isn't cheating right? Coz it isn't a quiz question as such.]
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

And it's very long, see the whole one if you're interested:

Has a lot of graphic violence. But all of us have already lost our innocence in the likes of Kill Bill, so shouldn't matter.

I don't recall reading it in any Tintin (I read it in the first Indian Mastermind book.) Is it Destination Moon? Coz that's the only one I haven't read. Or it might be Secret of the Unicorn, coz that has all that Haddock family history (Read it a long time ago, don't have it now.) Or is it something else altogether?
