"Fishbulb" has become "Eureka" for me, but with overtones of "and it should have always been obvious". This is after the episode of the simpsons where homer discovers that his face is the logo for a japanese megacorporation, then they go all the way to Japan only to find out that the similarity is coincidental and the logo is actually a fish and a lightbulb merged together to signify the merger of two companies, one that generates electricity and the other a fish processing plant. Upon seeing the way the fish logo sits overtop the lightbulb logo to create a near-perfect rendition of Homer's face, Bart quips, "Well there's your answer, Fishbulb!"
