Agree with your point. Having said that, the Simpsons is still a tv show. It is one of the very few that care about getting science 'right' in the show although, again, it can't be perfect. This is a bit off-topic, but I also hate films or tv messing around with historical facts. It's not hard to check, and I don't care really, but it really ****s me off for some reason.

I've recently started to hate it every time I read or hear someone say "The Universe is big" or "really big" or whatever. Compared to what? Compared to other universes? The universe is big compared to human sized objects but then we are huge compared to electrons. The universe contains everything we know about thus far. It's neither big nor small.
