Tonight's episode of The Simpsons (what, is there some sort of ice-based event taking place?**) was a flashback to a Simpsons family ancestor who helps out the Underground Railroad (which, as Lisa explains, was neither a railroad nor physically underground). The episode ends in Canada with a glaring anachronism that even a Harvard grad should have spotted – a modern Canadian flag. Technically it was only officially adopted in 1965 (you can read more at Wikipedia, unless of course we win the game tonight and all Canuck-related pages are horribly vandalized).
*We could pretty much use this heading for any Simpsons-related post, huh? And there are a lot of them.
**Okay, we'll admit it, we are actually watching snippets of it mid-post. And crossing our fingers that there won't be a riot.
