    		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.

    		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.
