Springfield Is About To Become A Really Crowded Place

Cartoon universes are about to collide in Springfield as both Family Guy and Futurama are set to make appearances in the land of the Flaming Moe.

We all know Family Guy "borrowed" a lot from The Simpsons, like the fact that they both star a fat, oafy father, and they're both satirical takes on the average American family, just to name a few similarities, but these two iconic cartoon families have never come together for a full episode...until now.

Here's a sneak peek at the episode entitled "The Simpsons Guy", which will air on September 28th:

And after the Griffins pay a visit to Springfield the Planet Express crew is set to come back from the grave for a one episode appearance in Springfield, thanks to a rift between Groening dimensions that really should have been opened years ago:

Simpsorama will feature Bender and Bart colliding in a battle of the bad boys sure to make cartoon history! Is this crossover Futurama's official return to the small screen?

Your guess is as good as mine, but if you want to see these Groening dimensions collide the episode will air on November 9th.

Sylvain was close. It's used on a target range. It's a paddle that's held up in front of a target to show where the last shots fired hit. At least that's what we used them for in the Army.

Ooh, this is a hard one. It's not a toy. And Mark, very close... (technically, you're right, but it's for a very specific porpose/condition).

I've been laughing at some of the "creative" guesses here, my favorite is the fabric harmonizer!

That's one of the Mesmer's murderous hypnotic dazzle-truncheons. This one was thought to be lost when Mesmer's malicious minions were defeated atop the Chase Manhattan HQ in New York some 6 summers back. I thought this one was lost when the Spellbinding Spook lost his balance in the fray and fell 60 sickening stories to the asphalt below. This is the one he held in his right hand; the one for his left hand is in my Trophy Grotto deep under the East Pole in the Himalayas.

It's about 36 inches long and it is surprisingly heavy, weighing 18 pounds. I'd like to have it to complete my souvenir collection of my daring exploits, so if you're the owner, please email me of fire a Hercules flare on a clear night no matter where you live (don't worry, the autosentries on the Sattelite of Secrecy will see it) and I'll make a generous offer to you.

That should be OR fire a Hercules flare, not OF fire a flare. Nano machines were battling me for control of my K-Pro keyboard, so although it is a typo it is not a mistake. I do not make mistakes.

Nonya's right - it's placido's disc for astigmatism (but that's from the answer posted on what is it? blog ...)

I suppose Mark (#14) is the earliest to guess the function (before the answer was posted).
