I was going to get the Sunsphere, but it looks tacky in my opinion, so I might get that later on, and I think the task is 16hr and I never use that. I'll probably buy the next one when I have 5-6 million.

I bought (and love) the Sunsphere mostly for its back story.

For those unfamiliar with it here is what I understand of it:

In the episode "Bart on the Road" (season 7), the boys use fake ID to rent a car and sneak off to the world fair in Nashville, Tennessee, only to discover when they arrive that the Worlds Fair had been ten years earlier. The Sunsphere, a major attraction at that world's fair, had since become a wig supply outlet (details vary on that part) and contained crate upon crate of purple wigs. Nelson was upset, threw a rock at the Sunsphere, shattering it and sending chunks of it, and crates of wigs, crashing down on the rental car., destroying the car. The sign which had read "World Fair" now said WO_ _D F_ IR.

If you look closely at the Sunsphere in a neighbor's town, you'll see birds wearing purple wigs poking their heads out of the holes. The 16-hour task is called WOD FIR and consists of the boys roaming around Springfield wearing purple wigs.

I love the story, love the name of the task, love the boys in their purple wigs, and LOVE those little birds. :)

Thanks, I haven't seen the episode in ages, I was wondering why the window was shattered.
This may now be the next aspirational I buy!
