Tangential joke I read somewhere, in an article about the history of computers: Some spreadsheet software was named Buddha because it would assume the Lotus position. I thought I read it as Excel, but I searched, and found this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Software https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Software See Section "Origins": [ Mitch Kapor got the name for his company from 'The Lotus Position' or 'Padmasana'. Kapor used to be a teacher of Transcendental Meditation technique as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Incidentally, competitor Borland code-named their Quattro Pro software "Buddha", as the software was meant to "assume the Lotus position" and take over Lotus 1-2-3's market. ]
