1	* FridgeBrilliance: Homer, while boasting to his Edison poster, ''very'' quickly notices that Edison invented the six-legged chair first. Maybe Homer ''didn't'' think up the idea and subconsciously copied the Edison poster.
2	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Homer being a HeroWorshipper to UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison, whom he sees as the greatest inventor of all time. In later years it became more well-known that many of "his" inventions were created by his European immigrant employees (most notably UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla's work on the electric lamp), his sole output in many cases being taking the credit for them, and his generally less savory behaviors (e.g., patent-trolling in the film industry or propaganda campaigns against alternating current) became more well-known. While it's not implausible for someone to continue to idolize Edison, it seems like the sort of thing Lisa, if nobody else, would point out.
