I'm going to have to say you're taking this whole "Bio Major" thang a bit too far with this one.

I believe there was a French composer, who made the classical piece Turangalila [SP?]. I don't know the details. Danny should know.

To elaborate on ZombieJesus' post: Leela's first name is "Turanga", making her full name "Turanga Leela". This is actually a very obscure joke, because she appears to be named after a symphony by Olivier Messiaen called "Turangalīla".--From The Leela Zone's 'biography' page. ...however, even if what TMC brings up wasn't intentional on Matt's part, it may have subconsciously "clicked" with the name of the symphony while he was considering names...

Written by Olivier Messiaen. Olivier Messiaen said the Turangalila-Symphonie is a song of love and a hymn to joy. Quite fitting, eh? Read more about Messiaen here.That explanation is great, TMC. Certainly made me understand what an allele is.

Your name was the catalyst that started off that chain of thought. Feel special.
