[[File:SpineOCylinder.png|left|200px]][[File:SpineOCylinder2.png|right|250px]][[Dr. Homer's Miracle Spine-O-Cylinder]] is one of [[Homer]]'s shotty inventions. It is seen in the episode "[[Pokey Mom]]" It is essentially a trash can that [[Homer]] fell backwards onto after he and Bart share a high-five in the backyard. [[Homer]] was raking at the time, and he was complaining about his back, which had been injured at a prison rodeo earlier on. After Homer fell on the trash can the can had dents along the side, which, according to [[Homer]] in his sales pitch he makes to the family about his new invention, "Perfectly match the contours of the human verti-brains." ([[Homer]] meant to say vertebrae, but this was an obvious joke.) [[Homer]] makes it clear to everyone in the family, and also a convict who happened to be staying in the house, the his invention was "Patent Pending." Homer goes on to use this contraption in his garage, posing as a chiropractor. He succeeds in fixing Lenny's sciatica, pushing [[Dr. Frink]] over the trash can even though he was only there because his car had broken down, and fixing [[Moe]]'s back. [[Moe]] says that now his back is fixed, he can "focus on all his crippling emotional pain." [[Springfield]]'s chiropractors soon come, after warning Homer to stop using his Spine-O-Cylinder, and they proceed to throw the trash can out of the garage door, limbo under the garage door as it is closing (which makes [[Moe]] and [[Homer]] aware of the fact that they are chiropractors), and smashing the trash can with a couple of (presumably fake) human spines in the back of a truck. While Homer is grieving over his Spine-O-Cylinder in the middle of the street, [[Moe]] says to Homer, "Forget it [[Homer]], it's Chiro-Town." This is a reference to the Roman Polanski movie, "Chinatown."
