Simpsons Plant Seeds of Invention


Homer Simpson is not a guy people want to emulate. "D'oh!" is his most-used expression, and with good reason. His endeavors tend to go horribly, horribly wrong.

Nevertheless, Rob Baur of Lake Oswego, Oregon, dreamed of bringing to life his favorite The Simpsons episode, one from 1999 in which Homer grows "tomacco," a combination tomato-tobacco plant. Even though it tastes foul and has a brown, gooey center, the entire town becomes addicted to the fruit after one bite, and Homer gets rich.
