I'm pretty sure I saw the three-eyed sperm.I'm also pretty sure it was a dig
at radiation effect on genes. Previously (I can't remember which episode) , 
I've seen a three-eyed fish during a tour round the nuke plant.It was diving
around a pool with it's two eyed compatriots.

I'm almost sure therefore that it was indeed a three-eyed sperm.

That's because it was all a dream of Al's. Actually, the reason there's
no Bundy baby is that Katey Segal had a miscarriage (or so I've heard),
and that's why she was absent from about 6-8 straight episodes.

Also in Al's dream, Marcy was pregnant, and Bud was named Grandmaster B
(and actually adoptem the pseudonym after Al mentioned it to him). I
just don't recall which episode it was that we found out it was a
dream...

	Just a quick posting, not much this time.

	The getaway car in the "COPS in Springfield" is the same one in
"Separate Vocations"--a 1968 Dodge Charger.  I'll go out on a limb and say 
the ambulance that took Homer to the Hospital is a 1976-1991 Ford.


	Flanders in the hospital donating a kidney and a lung "To the highest

... shortly before the Christmas special (which premiered three years

Hamster, but everyone who remembers ``Stark Raving Dad'' would know
that.

The lack of _real_ uncategorised discussion in here is a real drag.
Was this week's episode a `feel good' story or what?  Too sentimental?
Too method?  Was there some fine detail in the animation that really
stood out?  A plot-hole that large you could drive OFF's one-time RV
through it?  Did any aspects of the show break new ground for Prime-
Time TV? ...

Yeah, the peanut line was a really good one.    Let me think.   Other 
good Barney lines.    One of my favorites was when Barney came over to 
stay with Homer (when Marge went to the retreat).   When Homer opened 
the door, and Barney was standing there looking at Maggie he says, "Oh

The point is, many of us found that statement morally offensive.  We don't
believe that the president of the USA takes direction from ordinary people; we
think that he is opposed to ordinary people and acts immorally.  We think that
having him say pleasant saccharine things about how properly he acts is
offensive.

This is too fundamental a political belief for debate in this newsgroup to be
appropriate, imho, since the debate would have nothing to do with the simpsons
even from the start.  But my point is, we're not objecting to them presenting
moral statements.  We're objecting because we found this particular statement
morally offensive.

I waited for the storm of corrections that should have followed this, but
they failed to appear, so I begin to doubt myself, but nevertheless, feeling
slightly like my fly is down, I bravely step forward and say:

Matt Groening wrote "Colonel Homer" all by his lonesome, and co-authored
the Christmas special one.  So he has written a single episode.

But it's still true that he doesn't really have much to do with the show
other than to collect the checks -- I get sick of this way of talking about
the shows as if he wrote and animated every single one all by himself; the
"keep up the good work, Matt!" comments really annoy me.

     But don't babies learn to talk by themselves by imitating and studying
adult voices? Even the voice of the translator itself can be studied by
the baby. Imagine the following biofeedback system for teaching the baby
to talk:
   1) Baby wants to express something but does not how to in native
      language.
   2) Translator expresses it for him in clear correct sentences.
   3) By repeated use, the baby associates want he wants to express with
      the phrase.

In the normal method, step 1 and 3 would be the same, but step 2 would be
done by an adult. Thus one would run the risk of the adult misinterpreting
the need and giving the baby the wrong phrase (a common occurance) or
the adult would himself use bad grammar and diction, thus passing it on
to the baby.

  In the early stages, I think the baby translator would be a superior
  teaching method for speech.

Well, the only way I can think of doing it is as opposed to pasting the
icons over the aliases, you might have to paste the icons on the files
you want aliased, then create the aliases. That should give you color
icons in the AMI folder.
