Reverend William Buckland
From the Quicksilver Metaweb.
Reverend Dr. William Buckland (1784-1856)
President of the Geological Society in England and the Dean of Westminster
Buckland discovered and named the first dinosaur, Megalosaurus which, poetically at least, connects with Bobby's giant lizard.
There are many versions of this (apocryphal ?) story.
Apparently the Rev and his son Francis were fond of eating what others considered unpalatable, like, oh, human hearts for example. Lord Harcourt happened to have Louis XIV's heart for sale and, since he was feeling a bit peckish at the time, Buckland bought it off him and ate it up. His abominable dining habits seem reminiscent of someone in Quicksilver.
