The bit about why Puck-Man became Pac-Man is true, but I'm not so sure about the pills being called pucks. The game, although distributed in the West by Bally-Midway, was developed by Namco of Japan, and "pucka-pucka" is Japanese onomatopoeia for someone eating in a noisy, greedy fashion.

I wish I could think of a good piece of trivia to offer up, but I'm tapped... maybe something will come to me.
