Zenyatta Mondatta name reference

Did you know that “Zenyatta Mondatta”, the names of the two well-known Overwatch omnics, is actually just the title of the 1980 album of British rock band “The Police”? Whenever I find a weird piece of reference/easter egg like this, I wish there would be a wiki solely dedicated to name and place references and background in video games and movies, because there is so much of this stuff, which is not too surprising, as every artist takes his influence of course from somewhere. But it’s always funny to find these references either by search or just by accident. Like when I found out that Dragon Balls’ “Kamehameha” is actually the name of a House of Hawaiian kings :smiley:

I didn’t know that, that’s awesome!

And also their last name (?) Tekkartha is a reference to Siddhārtha Gautama who created buddhism
