Springfield Artifacts

9. The World's Largest Cubic Zirconia

Where it's Housed:

The Springfield Museum. 

It's Possible Practical Applications

For use as a drill, but to mine immense pastries for custard; to show the newly engaged what a mistake it would be not to go with a real diamond; a conversation piece/paperweight.

Its Primary Purpose:

To serve as an exhibit in a woefully uninteresting museum

Its Worth:

Twenty-seven bucks of cheap glass.


10. Portrait of Burns

How it Came to Be:

After several unsuccessful commissions (which systematically alienated the entire Springfield art community), C. Montgomery Burns asked Springfield Art Fair's first-prize winner, Marge Simpson, to paint his portrait. Burns's intrusion upon the Simpson's home did little to endear him to Marge, and the portrait reflected her feelings towards him: it showed burns as a frail, vulnerable-an d thus, human-naked old man.

Where to See it:

The Burns wing of the Springfield Palace of Fine Arts.

How Long the Average Person Can Handle Looking at it:

45 Seconds.
