AL1 numbers - mystery solved (almost)

[on:]

Warning: Long and boring post!

Until now, we have only known the first three AL1 numbers:
Yesterday I watched some episodes from the DVD set, and found this in My Three Suns:
Clicky here

Look at the green panel:


Zoom in:


Ta-da! The missing numbers!

They are very difficult to see, but I tried to draw them:


As you see, the numbers we already know:

Are 2, 3 and 4, not 1, 2 and 3 as we thought earlier.

As most of you (should) know, when the menu items on the DVD set are highlighted, they turn into AL1 text. I checked my DVDs, and found numbers in the menu items "Space Pilot 3000" and "Trailer for Futurama Season 1" The AL1 numbers there are the same as the ones in the geen panel above.

Other useless (but important) information:
The red sign in the opening titles, that's only visible for 0.6 seconds, was believed to say "2D rulez!"

Now we know it says "3D rulez!"

In "A Clone of my Own" Leela shows a documentary film about Farnsworth. Before the film starts, AL1 numbers count down from 4 to 2, not from 3 to 1


Now I'm tired, show's over.

InfORama!

Those have caused a lot of confusion. But now we know they're not AL1! AL3 maybe?
Just to rub it in: Have you ever seen them together with characters from the AL1 alphabet?

Seriously though, they are probably completely made up to trick us into having this conversation.

Movie reels never count one, they always stop at two.

I guess the ones Tor posted earlier in this thread here.

Ehh you might not expect an answer from the people that posted in this thread here, since it is nearly 3 1/2 years old and beside aslate not a single one of them is still active on PEEL.
