The letters on the house of Bender's robot fraternity are E-R-R.
This does spell "err" in English. But the greek letter for R, rho, looks like a roman letter P.
If Futurama fans get the Uncertainty Principle joke, shouldn't the letters on the house be E-P-P?

Robot House was clearly modeled after Animal House, with a bit of Lamda Lamda Lamda (Revenge of the Nerds) thrown in for good measure. The name itself, ERR, is a bit of programmer humor, as ERR is a common abbreviation for error particularly in limited systems where long error messages are not possible. It may be intended as a specific reference beyond that, I'm not certain, but I know I've seen ERR, usually followed by a number, blinking on the LCD displays of many dead electronics over the years (car radios, vcrs, that sort of thing).
