...the "Upcoming Pranks" were: Night of a Thousand Skunks, Tora Tora
Toilet, Untitled Skateboard Project, Who Let the Dogs In?, R.I.P.
Skinner, Operation Gumbo Drop, and I Love the M-80's?
...in Milhouse's vision, the sidekick wore a T-shirt that said
"e^(i pi) + 1 = 0"? (Which it does, by the way)
...the Daily Fourth Gradian uses typewriters?
...ten years ago, someone named Mrs. Walker was the fourth grade
teacher? (She is mentioned in the article about Skinner using ping
pong to teach angles)
...the Daily Fourth Gradian headlines include: "Man on Moon, Gum in
Urinal", "Lost and Found Box Lost, Found", and "Nerd Stands Up to
Bully (Memorial Service Wednesday)"?
...the only diving board the school's pool had was a 3m board? (There
should be a 1m board as well - in fact, 1m diving is usually the
only diving done in school meets up through high school level.)
GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT
The song in the opening says "nine Carls dancing," but only eight are
dancing; one is playing a violin.
The helium balloons that lifted the engine would not have fit under
the hood.
On the gym floor, the 3-point lines don't touch the top of the free
throw circles, which is still the rule in high school and below (as
well as college women).
Ralph should not have shot into the air like he did at the bottom of
the slide.
Bart told Lisa about the two-week gap in the Daily Fourth Gradian
before he ever looked at the "later" paper.
Actually, "plastic #7" is not a specific type of plastic, but is the
"other" designation for plastics that do not into types 1-6. Since
some type 7 plastics may contain Bisphenol-A, a number of people do
not drink from any type 7 container.

I thought it was commentary on how well Bart had polished the slide
under punishment. He did such a good job that Ralph just kept going. I
foresaw that happening before Ralph slid.
It also reminded me of the scene in "Christmas Vacation" where Chevy
sprays the snow saucer with special lubricant, and then goes down the hill
at a tremendous speed.
