Are you good at trivia?
As a youngster that was the nickname my father used for me.
I just checked Wiki and they do NOT have THE famous person who had Stinky as a nickname by his friends.
So, this is a mystery, or contest. Whatever...
I think it is fun and will surprise you when you find out who the most famous person called Stinky is.

Hi, Steve!
I found several on Scour and on Bing, but most were very far back in history. Any other hints?

Okay. I see that I stumped y'all. Here is a huge clue:
An excellant historical fiction was published in 1980 by an author named Stone where I read about Stinky who was quite a practical joker as a youngster and loved to create noxious smelling chemical events, I presume sulfurous.

I don't think Charlotte's web was written 1980 by Stone...
You're trying to be cute...

Could it really be Charles Darwin? Irving Stone wrote a great biography of him some time in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

Yes!
I came across this trivia in reading the book:
The Origin: A Biographical Novel of Charles Darwin
by Stone, Irving;Stone, Jean
While neither Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Stone
nor Fantasitc:
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/s/irving-stone/origin.htm
mentions "Stinky" it is in there...
Or I'm a Monkey's Uncle.
Then, don't forget my Daddy called me Stinky.

I never heard that Truman was nicknamed Stinky. If so, there could be controversy in making the "Best" selection.
I'm thinking of another.
