To set the record straight...

1) He was not found wandering the sewers of London as a child during the winter of 1964, unable to say anything more than "Powerful big rats, gentlemen."
2)He was never exhibited in public houses to the curious; only briefly in July, 1865, to selected gentlemen of standing from the scientific and literary community.
3) He did not have a vestigial tail.
4) He did indeed have what most people would commonly understand as "eyes."
5) He was not actually the pilot of the Zeppelin, although he did disappear for good following the explosion.
6) There is quite obviously no "underground kingdom beneath London inhabited by huge, intelligent rodents." And even if there were, any suggestion of his involvement in the mazy territorial negotiations between London's Above and Below can be considered a joke, and in poor taste at that.
7) He was afraid of neither mirrors nor street conjurers.
8) There were no tooth-marks on the bones.
