The US State of Pennsylvania rewrote their medical claim submission
system and called it "Promise", evoking many Biblical references about
the promised land, especially after the company I work for (and many
other companies too) had an entire month of transactions paid for 0 USD
each. There were also a few unseemly corollaries related to a margarine
of the same name and a somewhat mechanistic actor and very poor singer
named William Shatner, who advertised same.

I know of a project here in Australia which is code-named 'Daytona'.

Unfortunately the project is having some issues and we realized,
cynically of course, that Daytona could actually mean 'Go round and

many other projects are out there have been named in an ultimately
ironical fashion. Might take our collective minds off the daily minutae
of iSeries problems.
