13 he had some entrepreneurial activity in selling his invention, but I wouldn't say he's known as an entrepreneur because he very quickly stopped taking part in the business side of it
14 did die of natural causes

Hint: his invention is a source of entertainment

Aye! And I'd like to add to this that he was a Scot.

Correct! :-D I don't think he passes the dartboard test for the general population, but I figured he'd be a permissible exception here.
