		<description>From the episode &quot;Treehouse of Horror XI&quot;.

% The family is eating breakfast, as Homer searches in vain
% for a comic strip to read.  He settles for the daily horoscope.

Homer:	Oooh, my horoscope.
              [reading] &quot;Taurus: Today you will die.&quot;
Marge:	What?!!
Homer:	[continuing] &quot;... and you may get a compliment from
               an attractive co-worker!&quot;  Lenny?
Lisa:	[takes paper] It really says die?
              That&#039;s unusually specific for a horoscope.
Marge:	[takes paper] Mmm. Maybe I better check mine.
              [reads] &quot;Today your husband will die.&quot;
Homer:	Oooh, scary newspaper. [takes the paper, and waves
                it mockingly] Don&#039;t hurt me horoscope.  I&#039;m afraid
                ... Ow!  Paper cut! Paper cut!

% Homer leaves for work.  As he backs out of the driveway,
% lightning strikes a tree, which just barely misses striking
% the front of the car.  &quot;Missed me!&quot; Homer taunts.  He drives
% past a work zone where men are demolishing a Planet Hollywood
% restaurant.  The wrecking ball knocks down the planet above
% restaurant which falls on and destroys most of the car.
% &quot;Stupid horoscope,&quot; Homer says to himself, chuckling.  Then a
% pick-axe comes through front windshield and imbeds itself in
% Homer&#039;s forehead.  Homer laughs and says, &quot;Flupid bloroplope.&quot;
%
% At the plant, Lenny compliments Homer on the rattlesnake
% biting his harm.  Carl is concerned about the snake&#039;s deadly
% venom, but Homer assures him the snake will give up after an
% hour or so.
%
% Back at home ...

Homer:	That horoscope was baloney. Nothing happened
                except the pickaxe in my head, the rattlesnake
                bite, and the testicle thing.  What&#039;s for desert?
Marge:	No desert until you eat your broccoli.  [Homer
               takes some broccoli, chokes on it and dies]

[cut to a shot of Dr. Hibbert examining Homer&#039;s body]

Hibbert: Mm.  Another broccoli-related death.
Marge:  I thought broccoli was ...
Hibbert:  Oh, yes. one of the deadliest plants on earth.
               Why, it tries to warn you itself with its terrible taste.</description>

		<description>Hey! this is like one of those corner shops here in London, You find the parallel imported Polish coke to be flat after spending three weeks in a hot truck going across Europe and your bag of chips (or crisps, as they like to call them here) are stale because the &quot;best before&quot; date closer to your birthday than present date.

I think BA pulled this one out of his to-be-posted-when-I&#039;m-out-of-ideas-or-too-tired bag.</description>
