Hey there

pithecanthropuses

original genus name of Java Man: the original genus name of Java Man, now
classified as Homo erectus (dated)  


[Late 19th century. From modern Latin , former genus name, from Greek
pithēkos "ape" + anthrōpos "human being."]

Captain Haddock made his first appearance in "Crab with Golden Claws" and
has been a regular character in Tintin comics...

For the uninitiated he is whisky loving English Captain of a fishing
trawler, with a rich maritime legacy, Sir Francis Haddock... And inheriter
of the Marlinspike estate, who shares no love for Italian singer Bianca
Castafiore, and so on...

Regards

Maverick

to the sublime ("vegetarian!"), you've just gotta love Captain Haddock of
Tintin fame for his unique turn of phrase.
