Lisa's Wedding

I don't know if you remember this episode but Lisa's Wedding is a Simpson's episode that tells the story of Lisa's first love, while at graduate school, in the year.....wait for it.....2010. Like any good high school physics teacher, I let part of my class watch the start of this episode today. Come on, it was an in-class work day. Anyway, I was floored on how I watched this episode when it came out, in high school, only to watch it 15 years later..almost to the day in high school again. Wait....March, I guess I was in 8th grade. The point is, I am old. By now you are asking, "But how does this pertain to robots or even nerdiness?"

If you have thought this question, you need to train your geekiness by watching some old Simpsons. First off, this episode starts with the Simpsons at a Renaissance Faire which is awesome and nerdy all in itself. Also, that most of Springfield is also there, is so funny; Chief Wiggum saying "......it's an Esquilax" referring to a Horse born with a head of a rabbit and the body of...a rabbit. I was made fun of non-stop about going to a Ren Faire and apparently it is just a normal thing to do in Springfield. My people.

Secondly, Robots...By now there should be Robot Librarians and Robot British Servents. Also, the video phone referenced in the show is basically Skype. So all-in-all I think we are pretty close to the Simpson's forcast, hologram trees, 40 Jim Carrey Movies, the British saving our ass in WWIII, surviving cryogentics........(It is so hard to type sarcasm).

The Future is NOW!
