It never fails. Easter rolls around and I think about one of my favorite Simpon's episodes.

This is setup: The Simpsons doze off during the Rev. Lovejoy's sermon and dream they are Bible characters.

The sign on the chruch this day reads: "Christ Dyed Eggs For Your Sins."

Homer dreams about the Garden of Eden. Bart imagines David vs. Golaith.

But the best dream is Lisa Simpson's reverie about the Exodus from Egypt featuring Millhouse as Moses. Here is a snippet of the dialogue from the end of the dream:

Milhouse: Well, Lisa, we're out of Egypt. So, what's next for the Israelites? Land of milk and honey?

Lisa: [consulting a scroll] Hmm, well, actually it looks like we're in for forty years of wandering the desert.

Milhouse: Forty years? But after that, it's clear sailing for the Jews, right?

Lisa: [nervously] Uh-huh-hum, more or less -- hey, is that manna?

You have to love Matt Groening.
