Penny: Do you have any idea what time it is?
Sheldon: Of course I do. My watch is linked to the atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. It's accurate to one-tenth of a second. But as I'm saying this, it occurs to me that, once again, your question may have been rhetorical.

Sheldon: December 25, 1642. Isaac Newton was born. Jesus, on the other hand, was not. His birthday was moved to coincide with the celebration of the winter solstice.
Leonard: Merry Newtonmas, everyone!

The preacher's sign says 'Believe on the the Lord...' - the more usual 'Believe in...' seemingly does not do the job here in Leicester if you want to be saved.

The masked figure in Neapolitan costume who strikes the hour on the clocktower is Pulcinella. The English Punch and Danish Mester Jakel both derive from the character Pulcinella in the Italian Commedia dell’Arte, a staged comedy going back to at least the 16th century. Pulcinella is normally presented as a Naples bumpkin named after the Italian for a young chicken due to his beaklike nose and disoriented stupidity. His basic characteristics are a mean, vicious temperament and a propensity to knock everyone – including his wife – around. These characteristics reappear of course in the English Punch version.
The Torre di Pulcinella has been standing in Montepulciano for several hundred years. Some claim it was erected by a bishop from Naples longing for and eager to share some of his hometown folklore.
