I like Chad's explanation.
Well, you can consider that the state of method includes its name (message), its source (the textual representation of the code), possibly its compiled representation (especially in JIT or caching systems), its comments and its parameters, if any. Arguable, the receiver of a message is also part of a method's state, given that (in Smalltalk at least) one can refer to it using 'self'.

Oscar Wilde said "Everything popular is wrong." Abraham Lincoln said
"Avoid popularity if you would have peace."
Immanuel Kant said "Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got
by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few, and number
not voices, but weigh them."
(Apologies if I misremember some detail in those.)
I don't really give a crap what's popular, nor who has said it was
popular, when choosing something for merit. I'm also not entirely
convinced he thinks popularity is any kind of sign of quality (given his
involvement in GHC development, which is nothing at all like Excel), nor
that his statement of popularity of Excel as a functional "language" is
unbiased, given his employment at Microsoft employee for a dozen years or
so. Where are his independently verifiable statistics? What are his
methodologies for collection and comparison of that data? The truth of
the matter is that he was just one of a few people who contributed to a
paper that has a sensational title -- a title that, by the way, strongly
suggests Excel is *not* a very good programming tool (to say nothing of
the *contents* of the paper).
From the beginning, where it is stated that their efforts to improve the
suitability of spreadsheets to support "programming-like" tasks, it is
quite evident to anyone not prejudicially invested in seeing Excel as a
"programming language" that the authors are not strong in any conviction
that a spreadsheet constitutes a "programming language". In the
conclusion, they very nearly say outright that spreadsheets have their
uses, but that as a general programming paradigm spreadsheets damned well
*suck*:
We have presented a design process in which we started from a
popular, but limited, end-user programming paradigm (the
spreadsheet), and extended it to provide some of the capabilities of
general purpose programming languages (user defined functions and
matrices). We have not approached our work as a generic language
design exercise.
In short, they're not trying to design a functional programming language.
Rather, they're trying to improve the capabilities of Excel for providing
the support needed to give people a pseudo-functional paradigm for
accomplishing "programming-like" tasks when those people are so heavily
invested in using Excel to accomplish such tasks that they are unwilling
to learn the right tool for the job.
Excel is a *spreadsheet* -- which happens to have a programming language
embedded in it (and not a very good one, at that). It may technically be
Turing-complete, but so are the GIMP, Firefox, and Conway's Game of Life
(two of them for much the same reason as Excel). The Turing completeness
status of only one of these is, to me, even *remotely* impressive.
If you can find a way to *usefully* embed a Turing complete general
purpose programming language into a graphical user application without
the application being definable by people with an axe to grind as "Turing
complete", I'll give you a cookie. If you choose to reject that as
meaningful criteria for defining something as a programming language,
thus rejecting the GIMP and Firefox as programming "languages", you also
reject MS Excel.
The fact of the matter is that Excel is not a language at all.
