The alleged inventor of the flushing toilet (although I believe there are counter-claims), ... Mr Crapper

Absolutely true - that's where the words "crapper" and "crap" came from.

Apparently not http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=crap

There was someone on TV earlier talking about birds - a Mr AVERY :)
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

Well we had a member of staff at school whose married name was Crapper - no wonder she used her maiden name!!   ;) ;)

That's an interesting link Geoff!!  Will go looking there for other interesting words!   Do you happen to have a link for origins of sayings/cliches/the other word (which I can't remember but I think it starts with 'a'!!)

But he changed the family name (can't say what to, as the family are still living!) to protect his newborn son when he started school.
