[edit] Homer's Web Browser

Did anyone notice what web browser Homer was using when he visited the nuclear secrets website? It look similar to Mozilla Firefox.Richmd 19:46, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RATM mentioned

i thought in the cuture refrences when Bart says "This is my Rage Against The Machine" shouldn't RATM get a mention in the culture refrences. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.43.224.227 (talk) 06:40, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Willy Wonka

"The eccentric Goose Gladwell seems to be a parody of Willy Wonka; from the 1971 film, also there are no alleged hints that the parody it is in anyway related to the 2005 film, as it was released over 5 months before the episode aired."

While I don't dispute that the movie isn't referenced, how does the movie being released BEFORE the episode came out prove that it isn't? If anything, it would only make sense if the movie were released later.Yipely 01:52, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot Summary

The first paragraph of the plot summary is really confusing to someone who hasn't seen it (like me): "After some failed attempts in getting it out, Bart's tooth comes out when Marge forces a drawer open." How? This makes no sense. "Bart thanks Marge for helping him, leading her to say that no harm is done." Why does she say this? Was she expecting harm to be done by forcing a drawer/getting Bart's tooth out? Is this sentence even necessary? "Unfortunately, she's wrong, finding one of the tools stabbing Homer on the head." What tools? There were no tools referred to up to this point. This makes no sense. This really needs to be rewritten.

I disagree. I haven't seen the episode, but to me it seems that Marge would have tried to tie one end of a string to Bart's tooth and the other to the drawer. Then, on opening the drawer quiuckly, the tooth came out and tools stored in the drawer or left near the drawer from recent tooth-pulling attempts ended up injuring Homer. I could be wrong, but the wording you pointed out seems to get all the major points across concisely. Thecurran 21:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry it's still makes no sense to me. How does marge tie one end of a string to a drawer and then open it to get his tooth out? Did she tie the string to the inside of the drawer? More likely she would have tied it to the handle of an open drawer and then shut it quickly. And if that's the case, then no tools could fly out of the drawer. And it still stands that no tools are mentioned until this point. It could have said, "...finding one of the tools that was dislodged from the drawer..." or something similar. My first thought, was what tools? And the "no harm done" still makes no sense unless she was expecting or intending harm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.94.127.50 (talk) 16:08, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FABF21.jpg

Image:FABF21.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
