Quote of the Day

“Please identify this object.” – Homer Simpson “It appears to be the flag which disappeared from the public library last year.” – Apu Nahasapeemapetilon “Correct. Now, we all know the thirteen stripes are for good luck, but why does the American flag have precisely forty-sevens stars?” – Homer Simpson “Because this particular flag is ridiculously out of date.
