Why are you called that?

OK this is easy,

I quite often wonder why people choose their user/nickname on forums so lets all give a quick explanation as to why we are called what we are.

Mine is quite boring, my name is Carl which allways used to get extended to Carlos. Then it was Carlos the Jackal and now its quite simply The Jackal or Jackal.

Mine is all to do with music - I`m a Bass Guitarist so that makes me the Bassman, and I live in the Uk - hence BassmanUK

Roughly:
" In 1629 the ship Batavia, then on her maiden voyage, sank after running aground on the Houtman Abrolhos Islands some 40 miles off the coast of Western Australia. The events that followed involved the extremes of human behaviour both evil and heroic".
Sad and horrible story, if interested, here.

I took an on line gay test and I am 42% gay. I became The 42%er. Other people started putting thier % up so I became The original 42% to avoid confusion. I then became a doctor. Thus Dr 42%er.

Hang on. I did not put that sig in there. Even though I like it, it is not my name so I was not going to use it. What gives?

Dr 42%er.
