wait i got one, and im sure its been mentioned.
but in Route of all evil, hermes, dwight, farsworth, and cubert dont seem to have a problem breathing in space while talking to HG Blob. feel free to explain

[Reply #441 on:]

maybe there was a transparent oxygen bubble surrounding it...

[Reply #442 on:]

Forcefields...

[Reply #443 on:]

yea... each of the little planets has it's own atmosphere therefore there's enough oxygen to breathe

[Reply #444 on:]

sorry if i haven't bothered to check but in E2:TSHL when the countries are counting down to new year the French speak English.

[Reply #445 on:]

French is supposed to be a dead language in Futurama; much as Latin is now.
There's also a gag along these lines in ACOMO; Farnsworth has invented a "universal translator," but Farnsworth says, "... it only translates into some incomprehensible dead language."
Cubert says "Hello" into it and the machine translates it to "Bon jour."

[Reply #446 on:]

well... it seems i dont have an answer for this one
and professy, i beleive the countdown is in the first episode SP3K, not the  series has landed

[Reply #447 on:]

ovbious one, might've had a mention.
But what about the robot in obseltely fabulous, or whatever it is called. the one that has the water wheel, dosen't it violate some law of thermodynamics to keep getting energy from nowhere? yeah the water turns the wheel, but the get the water up high enough in order for it to turn the wheel you have to expend exactly the same amount of energy, therefore that robot is either a filthy lier, has a 200% energy efficency, or really IS a dream of benders

Thats a joke the staff put in. It just means that the French language is never spoken, in the future, and if it was it would be the equivelant to making grunts and sounds now, as if you were talking to someone.

 Quite simple.

Freezers doesn't produce coldness, they simply remove the heat inside a closed area. Everytime you open a freezer, you let in heat which the engine then have to remove.

Anyway, if you took ocean water and froze it, all you would achieve was to transfer heat from one part of the planet (the ocean) to another part (the atmosphere). Once you dumped the ice into the oceans it would melt, cooling the water around it, The cold water would then absorb more heat from the atmosphere. The net result would be an increase of the Earths temperature. Although the circle of heat between the water, the freezer, the ice and the atmopshere would cancel eachother out, the electricity used to freeze the water would result in more greenhouse gases and excess heat at the powerplant.

wow, I didn't know freezers work that way, and I barely even understand the rest of that stuff.

[Reply #450 on:]

it's thermodynamics... hot goes to cold...some aspect of inefficiency... what's to understand?

Another Question that i rase is that in Leela's Homeworld why does the cookieville orphanarium say that wasnt it re-named the bender.b.rodriguez orphanrium in The cyber house rules?

[Reply #453 on:]

There's something I have just noticed in Less Than Hero. After Leela has told her parents she is Cloverella, her dad is seen fishing with two other mutants, of which one is just a leg with eyes on it.
Maurice says "Anyways, my daughter's Cloverella", and the leg-mutant (I don't know his name, or even if he even has one) answers: "You're pulling me!"
The real expression is "You're pulling my leg", used when you hear someone say something you don't believe. The leg-mutant, as he *is* a leg, changes the expression accordingly.
Anybody else noticed?

[Reply #454 on:]

Yes, it's pretty obvious. That's not a goof, that's what's called a "joke." And it's Cloberella.

[Reply #455 on:]

When Destructor calls Bender on the advert for Ultimate robot wrestling and says "I will destroy you! Ahahahahaahahah!" lol well then he puts the phone down and so ends the call and then he picks it up again and says "and stop calling me" but the call should have been finished???

[Reply #456 on:]

In the Farnsworth Paradox, when the gang is searching for the right box to get in, when they are  all lying on the ground in a pile. They should ahve just looked for the box without writing on it. Every other box they made was labeled Universe #X, except the box that the Zoidbergs had. Woulda been easy =P

[Reply #457 on:]

Easy maybe but less fun noooooo lol

[Reply #458 on:]

the 'what if machine'was not hit in the AOI1 it was what wold have happend but in AOI2 it was damaged

Are they too chaep to change the sign you think ?

[Reply #460 on:]

this has probably already been answered but why does Leela introduce Fry to Zapp in A Flight To Remember as though they'd never met?  Fry was with Leela in LLLIS, so Zapp should know who he is!

He only saw him at the dinner table but he didn't even take any attention to remember what he looks like I think


Here's a question then lol I know it is just a joke but on When Aliens Attack when Fry goes camera 1 then its his first eye then goes camera 2 and its his second eye then fry goes camera 3 and you here a camera opening but then afterwards where is the camera, it is nowhere to be seen so why was there a camera sound?

Oh, there was a camera, alright. But i doubt showing it would be suitable for PG-13 tv.

LOL funny stuff 

[Reply #464 on:]

in The Deep South, when the crew climbs out of the laser turret to get access to the roof you can clearly see the laser cannon.  Later on though, when everyone's trying to climb back in the ship to get away from the rising water, the whole laser cannon is gone.  Then it's back again later on when the PE ship is stuck on the ocean floor.

maybe it's some sort of vanishing cannon!
     

[Reply #466 on:]

This probally has been asked before, as it's quite a big mistake, but this thread is so big, I can't read it all.
In 'Where No Fan Has Gone Before', Zapp boards the PE ship and crew. They hold the court marshel in what looks like the PE ship cargo hold, then fight Melllvar. Where does The Nimbus go?

[Reply #467 on:]

Wow, been ages since I posted.

How's this for the most pedantic nitpicking ever?

in A Bicyclops Built for Two, there's a shot of Leela and Alcazar in bed, then we pan up and see the two moons in the sky.  Technically, these moons should be close to full, if not completely full.

Why you ask?

Well, it was mid evening when they got under the covers, and the moons had just risen.  I say they had just risen because we saw the sun in pretty much the same spot as the moons, and as it was morning, the sun would have just come up.  Now, this means that the moons would have been pretty much opposite the sun in the sky, yet if this is true, then the moons should have been full moons, not the crescent moons that were shown.

Okay, I'll shut up now.

[Reply #468 on:]

i havn't had time to read so if this been said oh well but in Anthology of intrest II When leela Asks her question the professor pulls down a lever which hits her in the head on the questions before its a little string. how can he change it so fast? hmmm
might just be a joke i donno but still doesn't make sense then again not a lot of things do


Thanks Dave  that cleared that up

It is a joke it changes each time as he says I beseach thee on one, then presses the button on another, etc etc but it might just be a gadget with many ways to activate it, thats probably it

[Reply #470 on:]

ok here's another one Leela says in parasites lost That not many people in the universe can play the "holophoner" (i think thats the spelling)
and the people who can aren't very good
but in the devils hands are idle play things theres a school and a kid who plays it perfect. (which sorta makes it look like a school recorder) and  thats  just a sort of child's instrument (and i dont think that its one super kid )
whats the awnser or did professor farnsworth finally invent his supermen with hearts of coal and all that

if that makes sense then good good good

[Reply #471 on:]

My fix for the holophoner thing is, a technological development occurred between PL and DHAIP, making the holophoner a little bit easier to play; then holophoner lessons became "trendy" for yuppie kids to be subjected to.  Fry, of course, got his holophoner upgraded and signed up as soon as he saw that lessons were available.

[Reply #472 on:]

hmmm ok Then heres one unless it's been said bender says he's  30% iron, 40% zinc, 40% titanium, 40% dolomite and an unknown quantity of osmium with a 0.04% nickel impurity
it shoots over 100% like it should be
now theres one can anyone explain that!
remember if its been said nevermind

P.S. thank you wiki

[Reply #473 on:]

well......he is 'special'

[Reply #474 on:]

Oh, oh, and Heaven and continuity forbid that Bender actually ... LIES!  For money even.

I mean, just because Bender says he's made of such-and-such percent of a metal doesn't mean he actually is.  And even if you want to rely on Bender's integrity (*snicker snicker*), there's nothing that says he couldn't have upgraded to different metals between shows.

tom Stop being so sarcastic and annoying..... ............................. ......... please

[Reply #476 on:]

Here's one guys. You know on the episode of Leela's teenage mutant hurdles well when the Professor is searching for Pazoozoo and that guys passes him and shouts "Move your wrinkly old keister" well how can the guy shout to the professor and the Professor hear him, through space? As sound particles cannot travel through space???

[Reply #477 on:]

Sound particles? You mean there is no medium like air for waves from vibration to propagate in. Maybe the Professor knew what the guy was saying from experience. Or there is an automatic ship-to-ship heckling com system in the future.

Here's another one for you. When Fry is fighting the worm king in his brain he cuts some nerve/synapses and then yells ow! Actually, there are no pain receptors in the brain. But then Fry's brain is very different.

I meant the particles which the sound travels through (the air) lol thats a good one which you have stated as that is true.....

[Reply #479 on:]

He probably just did it on impulse, sometimes when you pretend to punch or throw something at someone and they yell ow for no reason. I guess in some people its just a reflex, but in the case of parasites lost, it was probably just to emphaise that he was hurting himself.
