I've created a new iGoogle gadget! This one is based on our popular Simpsons Dictionary page. Each day it will display a random Simpsons-coined word along with its definition, and in many cases, and appropriate Simpsons quote.
You can add the gadget to your iGoogle page below, or check out our new widgets page to add it to your website!

OK, we're pretty late on this, but if you caught the latest Simpsons episode a fortnight ago, Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words, you will have seen the special crossword in the New York Times that Homer 'commisioned' to prove his love for Lisa. Well it's a real crossword that appeared in the paper the same day the episode aired!
Lisa spots a message in the NY Times Crossword
One of our readers Anthony Covino was kind enough to send us a scan of the real crossword, which you can see below. You can see the secret message by looking at the first letter of each clue. There's also a message in the diagonal of the completed crossword: "Dumb Dad sorry for his bet".

Hallmark and its popular Keepsake Ornament line has released a brand new Simpsons ornament with sound. The ornament features Bart and Lisa sitting in from of the TV about to watch the Itchy & Scratchy show. When you press any of the buttoms on the TV the TV screen lights up and it plays the theme song to Itchy & Scratchy. The ornament, called TV Time, is only available at Hallmark stores for $20 and can be viewed online here.

I've been hard at work today creating a Google Gadget. If you have a Google Account (e.g. a Gmail address) then you can customise Google's home page with news feeds and gadgets.
I saw that there were no great Simpsons gadgets so I created this - a Simpsons Quote of the Day gadget! It has over 150 classic one-liners from 25+ characters. And we intend to keep plugging away adding more quotations so you'll never see the same one twice!
You can see the gadget at the bottom of every page on Simpson Crazy, and you can add it to your iGoogle by clicking the Google plus icon underneath it, or using the link above.

OK enough about next year's THoH, here's the scoop on Treehouse of Horror XIX, airing November 2nd.
The opening scene has been leaked on YouTube. It's election day, and Homer tries to vote for Barack Obama. However, the machine is rigged and forces him to cast six votes for John McCain! Just as Homer is complaining - "I only meant one of those votes for McCain!" - the voting machine sucks him in to his death.
Watch the clip here! And hit continue for more details on the THoH episode.

The Simpsons' 20th Season has only just started but believe it or not, we already have some information about next year's Halloween special!
Treehouse of Horror XX will air November 2009 and Al Jean has revealed that they will do a parody of 28 Days Later. "Krusty makes his hamburger out of mad cows, and it winds up turning everybody into zombies." We even have a promotional picture for the episode, showing how the family will look:
The Simpsons as zombies
The drawing style is reminiscent of the Simpsons Comics Treehouse of Horror specials (you can see samples from Simpsons Comics here) but will be a first for the animated series.
UPDATE: it seems we've been duped by that abysmal excuse for a newspaper, The Sun. Although the plot for next year's THoH is legitimate, the image above is actually from Simpsons Comics - this year's Halloween special (#14), to be exact.
Nonetheless, here's hoping the Simpsons animators do something great with the animation style regardless. It would just look amazing.
