The Wireless Connectivity System Bluetooth, was named after King Harold 1st (known as Harold Bluetooth) a 10th Century Viking who Unified Denmark and Norway under His Rulership.
Why was the name chosen? One of the Engineers working on the project happened to be reading a book about Vikings and thought it was apt.

You know Koko the gorilla, who could communicate with sign language? Well, she had a pet kitten, and one time Koko's trainers went to visit Koko and saw that the sink had been ripped out of the wall. Koko, when asked who had done it, blamed it on the cat.
