A Facebook post claims to show an electric car self-charging as it drives with a generator attached to the wheel - “something no manufacturer has done so far.”
But the reason it's not been done is because it breaks the laws of physics and is impossible.

We know there's Simpson DNA evidence on the suit. We know Burns originally identified Homer as his would-be murderer.

We know Homer had motive. Burns couldn't remember his name (and Moe's had been closed down by his oil drilling escapade).
But he also had inspiration. In Season 1, Homer sees Sideshow Bob rob the Kwik-E-Mart disguised as Krusty. [6/8]

I scored a goal in the last game of the season in 2012 against Bolton. It relegated Bolton and they haven’t returned to the PL since.
It was a clear foul on Adam Bogdan!
I think a replay is the right thing to do.
