The Simpson's hit the big time.

It's what every cartoon aspires to:  being referenced in a court opinion.  From this Sixth circuit opinion issued last week the following footnote can be found:

Homer Simpson talking to God: “Here’s the deal: you freeze everything as it is, and I won’t ask for anything more. If that is OK, please give me absolutely no sign. [no response] OK, deal. In gratitude, I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, please give me no sign. [no response] Thy will be done.” The Simpsons: And Maggie Makes Three (Fox television broadcast, Jan. 22, 1995).

Hat tip:  Above the Law.
