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.
