Widely known to be a play on
words for the originating term "Spruce
Moose" from the Simpsons episode "$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to
Stop Worrying and
Love Legalized Gambling)" Season 5; Episode 10.
"This was the pivotal episode which the scene where the "Spruce
Moose", an absurdly tiny wooden plane Burns makes in the episode, is a parody of Hughes' impractically enormous wooden plane has been proven to have foreshadowed every every television show before and after conception of the television and is widely speculated to have been the original idea behind the design of the Lightbulb invented by Thomas Edison 1878 and electricity itself" - Ian Branch
