Did you like the Lisa's line in which she tells Homer that he can't
     get to mysterious orb because "it's behind the velvet rope".

I hope some of you caught 'the Simpsons' last night (it was hilarious, as
always):

Lisa was desperately trying to attend the Egyptian blockbuster "Treasures of
Isis" exhibit, on its last open day---at the 'Springsonian' museum. Trying to
convince someone to go with her, she notes something to the effect of 'but
it's the first time these objects have ever been allowed out of England!'.

Homer and Lisa (through a series of mishaps) miss the museums closing time, so
they scale an outdoor Calder and climb in an unlocked window. Homer drops a
mysterious Egyptian orb, only to discover it is really an ancient music box.

Clearly the Springsonian has security issues.
