John Watson, also known (at his own request) as Wonko the Sane was a marine biologist and scientist who lived in coastal California. John calls himself Wonko in order to remind himself that a scientist must be like a child in having no preconceived notions - "Wonko" being a childhood nickname bestowed by his mother. Wonko added the epithet "the Sane" to his name in order to reassure people of his sanity.
