No. He lived in the early 1800s and designed the first fully automatic computer, however it was enormous, entirely mechanical, and he could never convince anyone to pay the cost of building it.

Babbage didn't make a computer. He designed one, but didn't actually build it. A replica was built in 1991 based on his original plans, and it did work, so if he had gone ahead with the construction, he would have been the first person to make a programmable computer.

What was the name of the person that invented the first computer?

Charles Babbage (26 December 1791 - 18 October 1871) Charles Babbage was an English mathematician, philosopher, mechanical engineer and (proto-) computer scientist who originated the idea of a programmable computer. Parts of his uncompleted mechanisms are on display in the London Science Museum. Working from Babbage's original plans, a computer was ultimately built and functioned perfectly. Built to tolerances achievable in the 19th century, the finished engine indicated that Babbage's machine would have worked. Babbage had even designed a printer; it featured astonishing complexity for a 19th century device.

What is something crazy that Charles Babbage has done?

That depends on your definition of crazy.

The Difference Machine was started in 1821 but failed its test in 1833. In 1842 Charles Babbage created the Analytical Engine; he completely abandoned the Difference Machine. It was never completed but it helped improve Britain's machine-tool industry. In 1991, the National Museum of Science and Technology built a replica of the Difference Machine; it was a real working one. In 1879, Charles Babbage's son reassembled a section of the Difference Machine, which was auctioned for auction in London auctioned in Sydney for $282,000. On October the 18th 1871, London, UK, Charles Babbage died.
