life imitates...The Simpsons

I just saw this episode in reruns a couple of weeks back. From Canada's National Post:

An Oregon scientist inspired by Homer Simpson has successfully created “tomacco” — a tomato plant that contains nicotine. …

Mr. Baur says the idea to cross-breed tomatoes and tobacco came from an episode of The Simpsons that first aired in 1999. After inadvertently challenging a southern colonel to a pistols-at-dawn duel, the Simpson patriarch decides to flee to his childhood farm with his family to live off the land.

And that's just in the first five minutes. (Link via Hit and Run).

UPDATE: Yes, but of course there's a recipe for the Flaming Moe.

uh...that's not the recipe for the Flaming Moe. Can't be a real Flaming Moe without the secret ingredient...Krusty Kough Syrup

APM,

Thanks for thinking of me. It wouldn't seem possibe that pasta could become even more addictive.
