D'oh, it's Homer McSimpson! Stunned Scottish couple unearth '800-year-old' stone head
Daily Mail ^ | 12/25/11 | Charles Walford

Whoever carved the statue would not have had TV's favourite cartoon anti-hero in mind - but there is no doubting the resemblance of this stone head to Homer Simpson

It was found by Rosalind and Donald McIntyre when they were clearing the bottom of their garden at their home in Fife, Scotland, earlier this year.

The couple were working in their garden when Mrs McIntyre picked up the head.

She took it to St Andrews Museum, and the discovery has been referred to the National Committee for Carved Stones of Scotland.

Maybe the ancient version of Bart cut off the head to impress the bullies ala the episode of Jebediah Springfield.

It’s like a cartoon version of the ending of the Planet of the Apes.

Looks like Homer got run over by a team of horses.

“Artefact” for “artifact” is not a UK alternate spelling I was aware of.

Drederick looks to be in pretty good shape for an octocentenarian!

He can’t be an octocentenarian.

He’s only got *2* arms.
