For whom the bell tolls

Ben...Big Ben, that is. Named (perhaps) after a construction supervisor who helped install it, Big Ben is the clockworks in a tower in the Palace of Westminster. Perhaps the loudest voice in Parliament, Big Ben has been sounding off every quarter hour for 150 years. Ben's birthday is May 31. So that would be about 5,256,000 resounding rounds of BOINGs.
