123 Fake St. is the
address given by
Marge Simpson to
Police Chief Wiggum in the
Simpsons episode
Trilogy of Error.
As
Homer Simpson attempts to steal brownies,
Marge cuts off his thumb, and then attempts to call
911. Upon receiving the call,
Wiggum assumes that Marge has attempted to kill Homer, and demands an address. The one she supplies is
123 Fake St.
Later in the episode,
Bart Simpson and
Milhouse, while fleeing
Fat Tony and his
henchmen (due to a fireworks sting gone bad), enter the property at 123 Fake St. (an apparently empty apartment), only to be captured by Wiggum.
The address is also the one given by
George Hotelling (of weblog
90% Crud) to
iTunes when setting up the account which he sold on
eBay, in an experiment regarding the applicability of "
right of resale" to
digital media. The sale was a success, raising money for the
Electronic Frontier Foundation, and forcing Hotelling to transfer the account wholesale, during which he had to convince the
phone monkey that his address was 123 "fah-kay" street.
Amaze your
deeply, deeply nerdy friends with this
trivia.
