> One I would like to know the answer to- how many times have the Simpson family moved out of town (in real life, not counting Halloween episodes 🙂 )?

In addition to **Otto’s** three, you can probably also technically count the episode where the whole town moves.

My all-time favourite: what is Sideshow Bob’s middle name?

Ah yes. The Phoenicians would have made too much sense.

That should be sleep _at_ home, of course. I kid. I kid because I love. The best folk in the world are prison folk.

Apparently, Cappadocia is a region of Southern Turkey.

> O3: What are the two reasons given for Homer’s being stupid, and why wasn’t one of them noticed for a long time?  
> O4: When Marge was a cop, what were the violations of the law that disheartened her?

O3: One reason was for the “Simpson gene” that predisposes male members of the family towards low intelligence. Another was the crayon that a toddler Homer shoved up his nose. (Dr. Huxtable explained that in all the many times that Homer’s head was X-rayed before, he always held his thumb over the precise spot where the crayon was depicted, thus hiding it from view.)  
O4: Marge was dispirited after Wiggums let the gang of counterfeit designer jeans dealers go for lack of evidence (while at the same time, all the men on the police force were wearing brand new - but suspiciously inauthentic looking - designer jeans.)

Q: From the same episode in which Marge becomes a cop, what magazine does Marge regularly read, and what new magazine grabs her attention?
