    (#17) The Pic Of ‘General Sherman’ The Catfish Resembles A Famous Loch Ness Monster ‘Photo’

    General Sherman, the legendary catfish that lives in the depths of the aptly named Catfish Lake is, according to lore, "a hundred years if he's a day." An image of General Sherman that hangs in the bait shop at Catfish Lake looks much like a widely-circulated photo of the so-called Loch Ness Monster in Scotland.

    One of the most notable pictures of "Nessie," taken by Doctor R. Kenneth Wilson in 1934, has perpetuated the myth of the monster in Loch Ness. The creature that continues to fascinate tourists and scientists, even though this specific photo has been thoroughly debunked.

    (#11) Mr. Burns And Richard Nixon Both Have A Pic With Elvis

    Mr. Burns wasn't the only person who met Elvis Presley - President Richard Nixon did, too. The Simpsons recreated the time Presley and Nixon meeting, an exchange that took place at the request of the former.

    According to Nixon's aide Egil "Bud" Krogh, "When he first walked into the Oval Office, he seemed a little awe-struck... but he quickly warmed to the situation." Presley's goal from the meeting was "to get the credentials of a federal agent," something he achieved when Nixon gave him a Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs badge.

    (#12) Ravi Shankar Appears On ‘Classic Krusty,’ Reminiscent Of His Appearance On ‘The Dick Cavett Show’

    Ravi Shankar was an Indian composer and sitar player who helped expose Western audiences to sitar music through his collaborations with musicians like George Harrison and Gary Wright. In 1971, Shankar appeared on The Dick Cavett show with Harrison and performed.

    In The Simpsons, when Bart is stuck inside all summer with a broken leg trying to watch a marathon of "classic" Krusty The Clown Show episodes that are extremely boring,he catches an episode where Shankar plays sitar on The Krusty the Clown Show, complete with a flubbed Krusty introduction.

  • Bart And His Friends Recreate The Famous Iwo Jima Flag Raising on Random Famous Historical Photos Recreated By 'The Simpsons'

    (#9) Bart And His Friends Recreate The Famous Iwo Jima Flag Raising

    As one of the most identifiable pictures in history, The Simpsons has referenced the famed flag-raising picture from Iwo Jima several times. Photojournalist Joseph Rosenthal was with the US Marines who captured the island of Iwo Jima in 1945, privy to the raising of the flag atop Mount Suribachi. Rosenthal described how he captured the moment on film:

    I went... slogging thru the deep volcanic ash, warily sidestepping the numerous Japanese mines... As the trail became steeper, our panting progress slowed to a few yards at a time. I began to wonder and hope that this was worth the effort, when suddenly over the brow of the topmost ridge we could spy men working with the flagpole they had so laboriously brought up about quarters of an hour ahead of us.

    I came up and stood by a few minutes until they were ready to swing the flagpole into position. I crowded back on the inner edge of the volcano’s rim, back as far as I could, in order to include all I could into the scene within the angle covered by my camera lens. I rolled up a couple of large stones and a Japanese sandbag to raise my short height clear of an intervening obstruction.

    Rosenthal's shot won the Pulitzer Prize that same year (a first in the award's history), was featured on posters and postage stamps, and was the model for the Marine Corps War Memorial build during the 1950s.

  • Martin Wins The Class Election And Channels Harry Truman on Random Famous Historical Photos Recreated By 'The Simpsons'

    (#3) Martin Wins The Class Election And Channels Harry Truman

    In an attempt to spread the word of the victorious presidential candidate, the Chicago Daily Tribute printed a front page that read "Dewey Defeats Truman." Unfortunately for Dewey and the newspaper, incumbent Harry S. Truman won in a surprising upset. The Democratic candidate defeated the Republican Governor of New York, embracing his underdog status and appealing to the masses for a come-from-behind win. 

    Just like Truman, Martin Prince unexpectedly defeats Bart in an election for class president (after no one but Martin and his friend Wendell actually vote), and he holds up the erroneous headline from The Daily Fourth Gradian after his win.
