Putting The Simpsons Into LaTeX
Yup, that's right: You can actually put characters from The Simpsons into a LaTeX document. I am so going to do this in one of my publications!
Hell, if you look at Table 305 of this document, a skull-and-crossbones is available too. (Maybe I'll use that for the exponent the next time I report a power law?) The magical staves are pretty cool, too.
I hadn't known about this stuff before. It was a very dangerous thing to let me know this information...
