At lunch, a boy says "i'll trade you the weight of a bowling ball on the 8th moon of jupiter from my lunch for the weight of a feather on the 2nd moon of neptune from your lunch." interestingly enough, the gravity on callisto is more than 100x the gravity on thalassa, so this statement was actually backwards.

another boy wants to trade 1000 picoliters (or 1 nanoliter) of his milk for 4 gills - but pronounces gill wrong. Wikifried 18:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA pass

Excellent. Some tips:

• I can't remember why Bart is green. This could be added, though from the picture it clearly is just muck.
• We could have a cite for Carmen being the opera they see, but I'll let it fly. Alientraveller 14:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carmen needs a Ref??

Why do I need a ref to add that the opera is Carmen?? I'm pretty sure it says in the episode, either on a sign, or on a program. Why do you need a ref to add something that can be clearly read in the episode?? Doesn't make sense.

Also, If you need a ref to know that Bart is mocking the Toreador Song, you need to pull your head out of your ass and do something other than watch the Simpsons. Read a book. Watch a classic film. Listen to opera. If you did these things, you would gain some cultural knowledge to venture some obvious observations.

If I wrote that Marge's hair is blue, would you delete it and say I need a reference?? I think you need to understand that NOT EVERYTHING needs to be sourced. Even the toughest university professors understand this, and don't bust your balls over every unsourced statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.186.60.95 (talk) 13:25, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

The fact that its obvious means nothing, I know it is as well. But I don't have a source to say it is, except the episode itself, which some people may not say is a good enough source. Whether you think something is obvious or not, doesn't mean other people will. See WP:V. Gran² 13:36, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

also, barts expirement is he mixes an acid and a base and they explode - this is wrong because in real life they would just nutralize —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.103.240.24 (talk) 20:30, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Yes, they would neutralize, producing (as far as I know) water and a salt. But even just neutralizing there would be some heat - but not an explosion like in the episode. I think the writers just opted to take some creative liberties. When I have some time, I'll find a good chemistry reference and add it in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.186.40.181 (talk) 13:59, August 30, 2007 (UTC)
