Like Chump said, kinda old news here, but good observation nonetheless. For more binary fun, try taking a look at Benders apartment number in "I, Roommate" and combine that with the ASCII chart.  Welcome to PEEL, Fry_Solo. Enjoy it here.

An ASCII is a picture basing just on letters, numbers and some signs, right? But what is the big fun with Benders apartment number and the ASCII chart??? ASCII is a computer standard. Since computers only understand numbers, ASCII codes was invented to represent all the various characters and actions. For exmaple; A has ASCII code 65, a has ASCII code 97, "space" is ASCII code 32, 4 is ASCII code 52, etc. Bender's apartment number is 00100100 in binary, that's 36 in decimal. Looking at the ASCII table we see 36 is code for "$", sp Bender lives in apartment $. See the original thread here.

Sounds a lot like a famous Sherlock Holmes quote: "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."

Hmmm. Originally posted by TheLesbianLeela: Originally posted by Teral: "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." That should be by Sherlok Holmes? I always thought that is a Mr. Spock quote ... That would be "Once you eliminate the logical, whatever remains is illogical, and can be discarded, Captain". *sarcastic Vulcan hand gesture*

Yeah, I know. Just struck me, since that Holmes quote is one of my favorite. Only Spanish I know is "una cerveza", go tourist Spanish! Originally posted by TheLesbianLeela: That should be by Sherlok Holmes? I always thought that is a Mr. Spock quote ... Maybe Spock said it (I'm sure Data did too), but Sherlock Holmes used the phrase first in the story "The Beryl Coronet".

Yes! A quote from Sir Arthur Conan Doile (written like that?) in Sherlock Holmes. Well, I posted that because I didn't see anything for the second season at the web, so... Thank you for all the welcomes and go on talking about Futurama  Ah! A question... Why Futurama has been cancelled in USA??
