From his parents, the same way most of us do. His name was Reuben Garrett Lucius Goldberg, so the nickname "Rube" was an easy step.

Rube Goldberg was a cartoonist, author, inventor and engineer. His famous Cartoons and sketches depicted fantastically complicated machinery to perform fairly routine functions.
