2) Chuck is a nickname for Charles (another nickname would be Charlie)
Thank you, [b]Virginia, I didn't know that Chuck was another nickname for Charles. wave [/b]
You're welcome, Sydney. "Charlie" fits Clark's personality better than "Chuck" as Chuck has more of a blue-collar, construction worker feel to it (in my opinion, I could be wrong.) [/b]
I think the reason I find "Chuck" so funny is because of "Charles Bartowski/Carmichael" also known as "Chuck" in the TV series of the same name. He's a nerdy type of character so my mental impression of the name is a geeky-type of person. You do have to admit that Clark fits that profile on occasion (although Jimmy from this series WAY more so.)

CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
