I noticed that all the clocks are set to 12:37.  What's the story
behind that?  Is it some sort of inside reference to something?  If so,
what?

Most likely, there's only one clock sprite (to save space).  Even if
there's some reference, there isn't much to go by.

There was a posting in a forum on the 3drealms website a couple of years
about times on clocks.  The message isn't there now anymore.

11:38 seems to be used a lot too.  It's a reference to a film/movie called
THX1138
