Top 5 All Time Best Episodes of the Simpsons

Selma's Choice A somewhat dark humored episode what with Homer singing 'on top of spaghetti' on the way to the funeral of Aunt Gladys, and changing it to "ding, dong, the witch is dead" after being lectured by Marge. This episode includes such great moments as Bart and Lisa's counting game in the car, a trip to duff gardens, Homer eating a month old sandwich, and Lisa on a drug trip. Best Line: "EEECH! Back to the loch with you Nessie!" after groundskeeper Willy watches Selma's dating service video.

Boy scouts 'N the Hood After a wild Squishy bender, Bart wakes up to realize that he has joined the junior campers. This one has some great character interaction with Homer and Flanders, as well as guest voice Ernest Borgnine. Best Line: "mmm floor pie."
Deep Space Homer Some people tried to say this was the shark jumping episode, and it had the potential with the whole Homer in space storyline. The episode, however, became an instant classic. Homer is in top form here with his angry, dumb, charm. Best Line: "What do you have to do to get some Tang around here?"
Bart On The Road One great thing about The Simpsons is the huge collection of great side characters to bring into the story. "Bart on the Road" makes perfect use of side characters Nelson, Martin, and Milhouse. The interactions of the kids as they embark on a road trip adventure makes for excellent TV. Best line: "Hot Damn! No more sittin in the dirt at the drive in!"
22 Short Films About Springfield One of the most unique episodes of The Simpsons, this one sets out to tell some of the stories of the other Springfield residents. Essentially it's a collection of shorts. Stories featured include Principle Skinner inviting his boss over for dinner, Chief Wiggum in a "Pulp Fiction" style plot, and Cletus the slack-jawed yokel, among others. Best line: "Slow Down Sir! You're going to give yourself skin failure!"

Lower and repeat for 7 reps. On the last rep, hold at the halfway point and then do 7 reps the rest of the way up toward your shoulders. Don't let the weights drop below the halfway point.

What is Shinto? An Overview of Ancient Japanese Mythology Spiritualism, Mysticism, and the Kami

Shinto began in ancient times as a shamanistic practice of nature worship much like the early druids. As outside cultural and spiritual influences came to Japan, what started as a loosely formed nature cult grew into a religion that has acquired many followers and greatly impacted world culture. Shintoism is a religion that is strongly connected to teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Shinto belief borrows much from the teachings of these sister religions, but still it remains unique in its structure. Without great study of Shintoism, one could easily see the influence from Buddhist and Toaist temples by looking at a Shinto shrine. In Japan it is common to see statues of Koma-inu placed outside of Shinto shrines. Koma-inu are guardians against evil that strongly resemble the Chinese guardian lions found outside Buddhist temples. To further show the importance of Chinese Taoism in the inspiration for Shinto beliefs, the word Shinto adopts the Chinese word Tao which translate...

A Brief Look at the Eventful Life of Samuel Tilden

Samuel Jones Tilden was born in New Lebanon, New York in 1814. He was educated at Yale University and the University of the city of New York. He was admitted to the bar in 1841. [1]  Tilden became an outstanding corporation lawyer, who mastered the complexities of reorganizing and refinancing railroads. He amassed a fortune in fees, which he augmented by shrewd  investments  in railroads, iron mines, and real estate. [2] Tilden had shown leadership ability early in his political career. An ardent Jacksonian in the 1830's, Tilden became a leader in the 1840's of the Barnburners. [3]  "The Barnburners were a radical element of the Democratic party in New York State from 1842 to 1848. The name derives from the fabled Dutchman who burned his barn to rid it of rats; by implication, the Barnburners would destroy corporations and public works to do away with the abuses they foster". [4]  This alliance illustrated Tilden's commitment to the abolition of corruption. ...
