Remember how we told you there was a shakeup coming to Springfield? Specifically, a wildfire report concerning long-running Fox animated comedy series “The Simpsons,” and the possibility of Homer no longer strangling Bart. Well, co-creator and producer James L. Brooks has a thing or two to say about reports of this long-standing gag ending. “Don’t think for a second we’re changing anything,” Brooks said in an interview. “Nothing’s getting tamed. Nothing, nothing, nothing.” Dialogue in the episode “McMansion & Wife,” which aired last month, refutes this. When Homer and Marge go next door to visit their new neighbor, Thayer, he…

This unnamed undersea volcano is located about half a mile off the southern coast of Iwo Jima (Ioto). It began this series of eruptions on October 21st. Within 10 days the volcanic ash and rocks piled up so high its tip was rising above the sea’s surface. Earlier this month, these materials had come…
