Good detail, robo_puppy_girl! I'm gonna be a little nit-picking now: We see the "bad computer" in Mars University:  However, the classic Apple all-in-one computers don't open this way. To open them, the back cover has to be removed (with a veeeery long screwdriver): Yeah, that's my Mac SE, I just don't know where I've put the mainboard... ;-)And don't argue that they won't have a 1987 computer in the year 3000! NERDS!

It's kind of like a flaw in Leela's parents' plan that was luckily overlooked by the guy at the orphanarium. Close to my point. Within the continuity of the show, Morris and Munda wanted their daughter to grow up as an alien in human society, but with her real name - which was about the only meaningful they could give her. Munda wrote the note in alienese to give Leela a "cover" as an alien, but the nametag in English so there was no question of her name. If she'd written both in alienese, Leela wouldn't have the family name: If she wrote both in English, bye bye "cover." I'll just ooze back out under the door now...

oh yeah, if Nibbler is old (I forget how old)i.e. more than 1000 years old, then how come the vet claims Nibbler is only 5 years old from the rings in his teeth..
The vet didn't conclusively say Nibbler was 5 years old, only that "if he's anything like the common tree, the rings might indicate his age". Nibbler is nothing like a common tree. Plus the vet was still woozy from the gazelle kick. Buttom line he didn't know squat about Nibbler.

ZoidZoid, we'll make a PEELer out of you yet.  Also, anyone notice how the Earthician flag changes from When Aliens Attack to A Taste of Freedom?

Well, let's see... We'll have to attempt to create another box containing our universe! Doy! Is this possible if the universe is actually contained in the box? No, this is only possible if the box is a gateway. But then, if the box is just a gateway, the entire universe wouldn't get destroyed if the box were thrown in the sun. As we see in I Dated a Robot, the Cowboy Universe (which I will call Universe α ) is easily accessible with only a spaceship. Perhaps Universe α is actually half of Universe A, and is a slightly different mirror image of our half. That would explain why Bender could keep on traveling traveling forever in Godfellas. Both 'Universes' could strech into infinity on opposite sides of each other. All the other universes, Universe 1, 2, 3, et cetera, perhaps only exist on another dimensional plane, an undiscovered corner of Universe Aα, or perhaps on the other end of the aforementioned infinity.

Note that the PE crew, er, our PE crew never actually enter the parallel universe. As they only look at it from the ‘scenic viewpoint’ I suspicion it is not physically accessible. Farnsworth’s boxes, allow one to actually enter another universe; parallel, perpendicular, alternate, whatever! Perhaps Universe α is actually half of Universe A, and is a slightly different mirror image of our half. That would explain why Bender could keep on traveling traveling forever in Godfellas. The writers never let a little thing like continuity get in the way of a gag.  Why change for this? … Universe 1, 2, 3, et cetera, perhaps only exist on another dimensional plane, an undiscovered corner of Universe Aα, or perhaps on the other end of the aforementioned infinity. Uhm… - Existing on “another dimensional plane,” is not incompatible with cosmological theory.
- Were these “other” universes in “an undiscovered corner of Universe Aα,” they wouldn’t be other universes, but part of universe Aα.
- Infinity, by definition, has no end, so it cannot have an “other end,” much less that there can be anything there.
Gawd, I am such a geek!
