You know Magic Shell, that wonderful chocolate syrup that hardens when it comes in contact with ice cream? You can make your own at home! And despite what you may have thought, there’s no paraffin involved at all. The secret is refined coconut oil, which is liquid at room temperature, but hardens in the refrigerator. The complete instructions are at Serious Eats.
They also have suggestions for ways to use your homemade Magic Shell, to make homemade versions of Klondike Bars, King Cones, and more. It would also be good for dipping frozen bananas and other fruits. -via Metafilter

I searched for an image of the supposed letter that shows Mr. Burns' address as Springfield, NJ, but it doesn't seem to exist. The return address shows an indistinct state, which looks more like JI and the delivery address state looks like rJ. Neither zip code contains validly legible numbers.
Homer's driver license shows a state code of NT, which is not a state, and zip 49007 which is Kalamazoo, MI. The zip of Springfield, NJ is 07081.
Regarding "D'oh" I saw an interview with Dan Castelanetta who said he came up with that himself and it was more of him almost saying "Damn!" but stopping it for the sake of the kids' ears, cutting it over into "Oh!" thus yielding "D'oh!"
