Answer 1

Charles Babbage

             Charles Babbage is often called the "father of computing" because of his invention of the Analytical Engine. However, many people do not know the details of this very important man's life.
             Charles Babbage was born on December 26, 1792, just about that same time that the industrial revolution was beginning. He was born in Teignmouth, Devon shire. Although not much is really known about his childhood, it is known that he had many brothers and sisters, but many of them died before adulthood. It is also known that Babbage never really played with his toys, instead, he would dissect them. 
             When Babbage grew up he attended many new schools. He ended up at Forty Hill, where he was famous for mischief but for some reason or another Babbage still studied. He did bad things like carved his name in his desks, violated his curfew, and insult the minister's sermons. He still found time to wake up with a friend at three in the morning and study in the library until five-thirty. Frederick Marryat, Babbage's roommate and a future novelist, joined his morning study group. When Marryat began to attend regularly he started to bring more and more friends. And the once study group now became wild parties that were eventually broken up by the school's head master. After both Marryat and Babbage had become famous they loved to tell how they were deemed the two students most likely never to amount to anything.

Answer 2

In addition to his fascination with mathematics and engineering, Babbage had a curiosity with the occult. Starting from an early age, Babbage wondered if the existence of God and paranormal phenomena could be proven scientifically — and he started by trying to summon the Devil.

While Babbage was at Cambridge's Trinity College, he developed a tight-knit circle of friends, who, like Babbage, were interested in the subject of ghosts. So they formed a Ghost Club to investigate paranormal phenomena from an academic perspective. They corresponded extensively on the subjects of spirits and psychics and how science might verify or refute their existence.

Babbage wrote in his own words:
I gathered all the information I could on the subject from the other boys, and was soon informed that there was a peculiar process by which the devil might be raised and become personally visible. I carefully collected from the traditions of different boys the visible forms in which the Prince of Darkness had been recorded to have appeared. Amongst them were —-
A rabbit
An owl
A black cat (very frequently)
A raven
A man with a cloven foot (also frequent)
