You might have heard this story:  One of the Apple machines under  
development received the nickname "Sagan" for the famous  
cosmologist.  Apple received a curt letter from his lawyer asking  
them not to use Sagan's name for a commercial product.

Apple changed the nickname to "BHA", which insiders knew stood for  
"Butt-Head Astronomer".
