Simpsonian Science

For example, where is Bart and his flying hamster science fair experiment or Skinner and his amateur astronomy?

The Simpsons, naturally
Obviously, when a movie comes out by the best show television ever created (at least if we count the first 6, maybe 7 seasons, as that show, and maybe we don't even keep Season 1 in the mix, and we say humor show, not any show, and we admit The Wire and Arrested Development and Blossom are also up…

Ned Flanders:
"Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. Well I say that there are some thing we don't wanna know -- important things!"

I should just clarify that Timon was the fine photoshopper responsible for putting together that Filter post.
