Here’s what else is going on in nerd news across the Web:
The Simpsons man up: During last night’s Simpson‘s episode, the series showed its support for an animated competitor: South Park. During its 201st episode, South Park was heavily censored due to death threats made against creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone because of the show’s depiction of Muhammad in a bear suit. In response, the phrase “South Park – We’d Stand Beside You If We Weren’t So Scared” appeared on Bart’s chalkboard during last night’s opening credits. Watch a clip here.

Just a little bit o’lore: In the 1930s, the Scottish Police believed that the Loch Ness Monster existed “without a doubt.” They even organized a 20-man hunting party to capture it.
