Incredible Hulk tv trivia

In the comic book, the Hulk's alter-ego is named Bruce Banner (although his full name is Robert Bruce Banner). For the show, however, the character was renamed David, in part because the name "Bruce" was considered too homosexual.

Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.

The Glenfinnan Monument to Prince Charles Edward Stuart in Scotland has a statue of George Lockhart on top of it.
"The sculptor he chose was a native of Carluke called John Greenshields. This artist naturally wished to study a likeness of his subject before starting on the work. Hearing that there was a good picture of the Prince at Lee Castle, not far from his home he arranged to view it. When he called the Lockharts were away, and the housekeeper knew nothing about the picture. There were two portraits of young men hanging side by side, with nothing to tell which was which; the artist chose the one of Young George Lockhart and made his model from it. When his mistake was pointed out to him he is reported to have said “...Well, be as it may, I shall stand by that model, it is a thousand times more fit than the Prince in tartan Pantaloons...”"
