GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT
In the close-up of Homer stamping on the Bonk It, the brake pedal is
missing.

There may have been an actual Wiccapedia site at one time, but
apparently it has changed to something called Wizdem.

The US Government recognized Wicca as a religion, to the point where
soldiers buried at Arlington National Cemetary may have the pentacle
(a five-pointed star inscribed in a circle) inscribed on their
tombstones.

Also, Bart referred to a pentagram when he saw it on the Wiccapedia
homepage, but I'm pretty sure that was a pentacle (star points
downwards on a pentagram, up on a pentacle). I was surprised that
line wasn't followed by Lisa correcting him.

I have never heard that.
I think a pentagram is just another word for a five-pointed star,
while a pentacle has something circumscribing it (for example, a
circle, or a pentagon), but I am not sure.

They're actually the same thing - neither has to be circumscribed to be
called either pentram or pentacle. The main difference is that pentacles
are tangible things like a talisman, where pentagrams could be just a
drawing.
