I think you forgot one rule: "If it's funny, don't ask questions"
The Slurm gag is funny, why should we try to understand? It's a cartoon supposed to be funny, not to be logical. Like when the Donbot tried three times to kill Bender but doesn't know who he is.

Wrong and right. Futurama was hilarious and logical. It's slowly becoming hilarious and non-logical. Maybe even less hilarious. (IMO the humour ATM is fine, but some may disagree.)

Futurama had never been logical. In the pilot, the whole plot was: "you gotta do what you gotta do" with the career chips and all that stuff. And during the series, everybody change jobs.

I'm talking about the maths and sciency stuff. Sometimes (like all the time) it's un-realistic, but most of the time, yeah...

I've noticed in a few new eps that the entire PE crew is in the building yet the PE Ship isn't in the hangar. There could be multiple reasons and explanations behind it, but yeah.

Maybe there's some cool second hangar or reparation deck that we've never heard of? That's my guess at least.

Well it's destroyed in almost every ep now, so it could be constantly getting repaired.
Which has just made me realise another possible goof. The ship is constantly getting damaged and destroyed, so why did the Professor suddenly make a big deal out of it in Bender's Game?

Because it was not destroyed during an ACTUAL mission?

That makes for an interesting question, how often was the ship destroyed and to what degree.

Can't be arsed trying to quote and crap on this phone, so @Svip: So? It's still gonna cost him.

Not necessarily. Maybe whoever books the mission also pays in the event of the ship getting destroyed on it's way to and from the destination. Or at least pay more depending on how dangerous the rout is. Which both sounds quite reasonable.
So if the ship gets destroyed while not on a mission he has to pay himself.

Because in Bender's game, the Professor's care was needed for the story:) It's like Bender's powers: Looking at him bending the pipeway in "The Mutants are revolting", his strength should be so great that the whole Planet Express Crew could not overwhelm him. But they manage to do so as soon as it serves the story/a joke:) About that insurance thought: Maybe the Planet Express ship was once insured, but -considering it's damage history- no Insurance company would be so foolhardy so insure that ship again. Hm....come to think of it: Maybe they did and that's the reason we do not see too many insurance companies in Futurama nowadays...

Wouldn't all the events of 'All the President's Heads' affect the crew going back to 1947? Like how they are seen and stuff?

Possibly, but not necessarily.

How they are seen and stuff? What do you mean?
How they were seen in 1948, and changed history by making the whole UFO hubbub. My point is that maybe they didn't travel back in time at all in the British version, but it doesn't really matter, since they did in the ultimate (third) version.

I mean, at the end of ATPH, Bender was on the flag and whatnot, meaning he would of been seen as like a famous figure or whatever in 1947.

True, but wouldn't Fry, Leela, Bender and the Professor be in the history books or something?

I have just noticed a huge error. In 'The Duh-Vinci Code' it takes the Professor and Fry a month to get to Planet Vinci and a month to get back, yet in 'Lethal Inspection' Bender says 'I was in Italy last week.', meaning the events of 'The Duh-Vinci Code' took place literally last week, yet the Professor and Fry are present in the episode, shouldn't they still be in space in the Spacecraft?
