At the end of the episode, they show Milhouse's dad with a sling on his arm.
Guess it was reattached.
At the end of the episode, he is in the unemployment line, with a bandage on
his arm.
Pay closer attention next time.

IIRC, I saw something in SciAm about reconnecting one's spine. Nerves in
one's arm couldn't be that tough.

When that episode aired last October I think it was, I had a large
discusion with my fellow Simpson fan friends at school. We finally settled
that although it would be funny if Mr Van Halton was left armless until
the show becomes unprofitable, it would also make the show more
complicated. The Simpsons is just that way; there is some consistany, some
degree of reality, but many things are just left in the unrealistic way
that allows for more humour. In ten years Lisa has had only one birthday,
and nobody seems to notice that the residents of Springfield lead the most
interesting lives.
Yes, continuity isn't the strongpoint of the show, but if it were we
would be left without so many laughs.

Anybody else think this was more of a job for Hans Moleman rather than
Milhouses dad? (Although how would he stick his arm out of a gremlin
:P)
Also...what happened to the CRACKER FACTORY! He was a pretty big wheel
down there...

He got laid off after his wife divorced him. "Maybe single people eat
crackers, I don't know. Frankly, I don't want to know...it's a market we

Kirk was fired from the cracker factory in "A Milhouse Divided." He's
now on unemployment.

We had a thread go for weeks after this episode aired on wheather or not
Kirk getting his arm cut off was out of character. It was never really
settled, the trolls' attention spans just fizzled out under the wake of "All
Singing, All Dancing".

Oh great. We really needed a "Is Milhouse's father gay?" thread!

Kirk, crackers are a family food. Happy families. Maybe single people eat crackers, we
don't know. Frankly, we don't want to know. It's a market we can do without.
