Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Ph.D., formerly Slime Q Slimedog, is the proprietor of the Kwik-E-Mart, the local convenience store and good friends with Homer Simpson.
During the 1960s, while still living in India, Apu spent some time as a student of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in which capacity he became a friend of Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney. Apu's friendship with the McCartneys caused him to be referred to by some (mainly himself) as "The Fifth Beatle". They visited Apu in Springfield around the time he became naturalized. He says that he graduated from Calcutta Technical University, where he was the top of his class of 7 million and got a scholarship in the United States. In the United States he got a doctorate in computer science by designing the world's first tic-tac-toe program that only the top human players could beat (which Bart Simpson promptly broke). He then took a job at the Kwik-E-Mart to pay back his student loans.
During the early 1980s Apu was a member of the barbershop quartet called The Be Sharps, which also consisted of Homer Simpson, Barney Gumble, and Seymour Skinner. Upon the advice of Nigel, the band's manager, Apu took the stage name "Apu du Beaumarche" (a pun, as "du beau marché" means "of the beautiful market" in French) and denied that he was actually Hindu.
Prior to his marriage to Manjula, Apu was a bachelor, and was bought at a bachelor auction by Luann Van Houten, Miss Hoover, Selma, Ruth Powers and Lois Pennycandy, he dated all five at the same time. Apu and Manjula were wed through an arranged marriage. Despite trying to wriggle out of the arrangement at first, Apu was won over soon after meeting Manjula and the two actually did fall in love. Before his marriage, Apu became known as the leading ladies' man in Springfield, because he holds a Ph.D. and runs his own business...

"Margical History Tour" is the eleventh episode of The Simpsons season 15. The episode aired on February 8, 2004. This is one of several Simpsons episodes which are considered anthology episodes that features mini-stories. The episode is written by Brian Kelley and directed by Mike B. Anderson.
When the Springfield Library becomes low on books, the children of Springfield Elementary don't have enough resources to do research for their history papers. To help out, Marge gives the kids verbal anecdotes about historical figures including tales of King Henry VIII, Sacagawea's assistance to the Lewis and Clark Expedition and a very Bart-like Mozart feuding with his sister Salieri.
Marge takes the kids and Milhouse to the Springfield Public Library to study. They realize that there are very few books at the library, most of which are noneducational. Milhouse complains because he needs to write a book report on Henry VIII. So, Marge decides to tell the story to him to help him.
King Henry VIII (played by Homer) is unhappy because he can't sire a son, despite he and his wife, Margarine of Aragon (played by Marge), trying frequently. One day, Henry VIII is checking himself out in the mirror when he is complimented by Anne Boleyn, who has been dubbed "Anne of the Child-Bearing Hips" by Wench Magazine...

Henry VIII was the King of England and Ireland.
King Henry VIII desperately wanted a son to be his heir. He spoke about this to his wife, Margarine of Aragon, in front of the royal court. That night, Henry VIII dreamed of Prince Bart, the son he wanted. One day at court, Henry VIII met Anne Boleyn, who told him that she had child-bearing hips. After a trip to a marriage counselor, Henry VIII decided to get a divorce from Margarine to marry Anne Boleyn in an attempt to have a son. However, Sir Thomas More, the lord chancellor, told him that the church wouldn't allow that. So, Henry VIII decided to make his own church that would allow it.
After getting a divorce, and losing control of Ireland in the process, Henry VIII got married to Anne Boleyn and had sex on the floor of the church with her. Nine months later, Anne Boleyn had a daughter so Henry VIII had her executed. Later, he met Jane Seymour and got married to her. However, after hearing her voice he also had her executed. Henry VIII then went through at least two other wives before getting married to Anne of Cleves for her track record of producing sons. He then soon had her executed too...
