Darwin's nickname was apparently "Gas". Not for the reason alluded to by mandelbrotset, though. It was more to do with his penchant for conducting noxious chemistry experiments in his shed. http://www.abc.net.au/science/descent/darwin.htm Apr 06 04, 1:01 PM

He would often sign his letters to scientific friends as "Stultis". This name referred to his habit of trying experiments most people would prejudge as being fruitless or a fool's experiment. Apr 06 04, 5:46 PM
